Description of 120 Hour NICCM CDA Fast Track Course
The NICCM 120-hour CDA Option requires all students complete the 30-hour NICCM CDA Fast Track course in person or online. In addition to the NICCM CDA Fast Track course, students must complete at least an additional 90 clock hours of training. Students may complete the additional required training at online or in person training either before or after completing the 30-hour CDA Fast Track course.
Attendance at live events is strictly enforced. Students may not miss any training without making it up before receiving their certificate. Students who attend a live training are required to sign in every 5 hours. Online training enforces course completion. Students cannot fast forward through any portion of the training without being required, by the system, to begin again from the beginning. The chart below shows the breakdown in categories in the initial 30-hour CDA Fast track as well as the additional 90 hours required before receiving the certificate.
