CHILD & YOUTH CARE WORKER CERTIFICATION TESTING PROGRAM.

In spring 1995, Center for Legal Studies (now the Institute for Legal and Policy Studies) staff developed and implemented a professional testing and certification program for entry-level child care professionals employed by private child welfare agencies for the Illinois Council on Training, Illinois Association of Child and Youth Care Workers, Child Care Association and D.C.F.S. This project entails several innovative features including the use of computerized testing instruments, remote-site testing, and immediate transmittal of test results to the child care worker.
