With respect to these requirements, applicants must:

accepted.

2. Verify that the specified number of work experience hours related to career development and
the GCDF-CA competencies have been completed.
TRAINING
In addition to the education and experience requirements identified above, applicants must also
complete at least 200 hours of training in the 12 GCDF competencies from a CCE-Approved Training
Provider. A copy of the training certificate of completion must be submitted with the application.

specific core competency training from an approved training provider. For applicants who wish to

provider (e.g., GCDF-US), please contact the GCDF-CA Program Administrator for further information.
1 Degrees must be from a postsecondary educational institution or program accredited by an accrediting agency. 2 Please note that GCDF-CA training hours cannot be used to fulfill this work experience requirement; however, qualifying experience hours accrued prior to completing the GCDF-CA training will be accepted.

APPLYING FOR THE GCDF-CA CREDENTIAL
THE APPLICATION PROCESS
All applications are reviewed in the order of receipt; results will be sent via mail, within eight (8) weeks
of receipt of application. Failure to include all required items (correctly completed) will result in the
need for additional reviews. Each subsequent review will take up to eight weeks from the date of
document receipt.
We ask that applicants not call to confirm receipt of application as time spent answering these inquiries
slows the review process.
If additional documentation is needed for your GCDF-CA application, GCDF-CA will contact you with
details regarding the documentation needed and the deadline for submission. GCDF-CA reserves the
right to request clarifying information as needed.
If you have specific questions regarding the GCDF-CA application and certification, contact Life
