An important message from the Council for Professional Recognition:
Candidates will now complete the CDA® Exam first. Once the exam scores are received by the Council, the candidate will be authorized to schedule their CDA Verification Visit®. This new “exam‑first” approach is designed to streamline the process, ensure consistent standards, and better support future improvements. Candidates will still have the same 6-month window to complete both steps—but early scheduling for your visit will be more important than ever.
