ERSEA Competency-Based Certification Review and Exam – Chicago, IL

Description

The ERSEA Competency Based Certification process helps individuals build critical competencies for identifying, selecting, and enrolling children and families eligible for Head Start services. Individuals who complete the certification process increase their skills, knowledge, and capabilities and demonstrate their commitment to ensuring access to Head Start services for qualified young children.

The ERSEA Competency Based Certification Review and Exam is required for certification. The one-and-a-half-day event gives participants the opportunity to review and update their ERSEA knowledge in preparation for the final ERSEA exam. The review has three distinct benefits. It helps participants increase their knowledge by examining national, regional, state, and local trends. Participants also critically explore their personal expertise across all ERSEA areas and fill any gaps that exist and could affect execution of the processes. The review also uses individual, team, and group activities to prepare candidates for the exam itself.

The ERSEA exam thoroughly tests participants knowledge of ERSEA in three areas: regulations, implementation, and management. Successful candidates will have successfully completed all three ERSEA level trainings and can demonstrate that they have retained and can implement their knowledge through the successful completion of the exam. Individuals who fail the exam on the first try must attend a follow-up review session and retake the exam within eight months.

Prerequisites:

Candidates who have completed all three ERSEA level trainings within the past twelve months are eligible to enroll for this training.
