Skills Certificates are awarded by departments and are not notated on official college transcripts. Contact the department directly for assistance and to apply. De Anza College's Child Development and Education developed the Trauma Informed Care Skills Certificate to train early childhood practitioners working in early education and in Family, Friends and Neighbors programs. Certificate requirements include student participation in field experiences with community based programs. Students develop skills to work with both children and families who have experienced trauma. The Skills Certificate is designed to meet Child Development course requirements for a Child Development Master Teacher as specialization units. The Child Development Master Teacher permit requires 36 quarter units (equivalent to 24 semester units) in Early Childhood Education/Child Development including core courses. The certificate is also aligned with the Infant-Family and Early Childhood Mental Health professional endorsement: Reflective Practice Facilitator I and Transdisciplinary Infant-Family and Early Childhood Mental Health Practitioner.
