lllucas 0 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hi, Nette10566! :-D I'm from Indiana so I don't know much about Texas. However, Pennie Bacon, the administrator of this site, posted a reply to another AD looking for Texas certification. I copied and pasted it below. Best wishes, Linda Lucas, AD ;-) The Activity Director's Office http://www.theactivitydirectorsoffice.com ____________________________ To be national certified you should go to the NCCAP.org site You can just be certified in Texas, if you prefer. Either way you will need to still sit in on the exam. To learn when it will be and anything else about being certified and activities contact the "Guru of activities" Pam Sanders. She has more knowledge, personialty, connections than anyone I know. I am sending 2 email addresses for her. I forget which one is her good one. When you find out which one is the correct one would you mind letting me know? Tell her that I gave it to you & that I said "Hi" Thanks Pennie ernestejones@msn.com ernestejones@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
