Usage in Florida - Overview of Child Care Management Requirement
NICCM is proud to be continuing our partnership with UAF to allow students who take the NAC course to earn College Credit. Once participants complete the NAC course and receive their certificate, their completed UAF registration form will be submitted to the University with their grade. UAF will then Issue a transcript for 2 College Credits. (Currenlty a $200 fee will apply, if paid by money order) This fee is subject to change. This fee can not be paid online and is not part of the tutoring registration fee. ) The UAF Transcript/(UAF-NICCM NAC) Course is then submitted to DCF with the Florida Director Credential Verification Application to be used for the approved "Overview of Child Care Mangement Course" or Florida Director Credential Course.
UAF transcripts are Issued once a month. A schedule of UAF/NICCM transcript issue dates can be found in the frequently asked questions.
