Is the Employment History Recognition Exemption the same as being granted a FCCPC?
The Employment History Recognition Exemption is not the same as a FCCPC. The FCCPC is an approved course of study. The Employment History Recognition Exemption is an option that meets the staff credential requirement for purposes of licensing, but does not qualify as a credential for purposes of VPK. The Employment History Recognition Exemption is no longer granted by the Department of Children and Families, and has no renewal requirement.
