DECAL hours, explained
Do these count toward my Georgia 10 hours?
Yes. Georgia early childhood educators in licensed programs must complete 10 clock hours of DECAL-approved continuing education each calendar year (Bright from the Start). Each Armstrong self-paced course is DECAL-approved and issues a CEU certificate, so the hours count toward that annual requirement — one course equals one clock hour, and the 10-course pack covers a full year.
Georgia's renewal season runs July through September, so educators scramble for hours in summer. Because the courses are self-paced, you can enroll now and finish anytime before your renewal date. For the full rule and what counts, see the certification page.
- 10 DECAL clock hours required per calendar year
- Every course is Bright from the Start approved
- CEU certificate included — no add-on fee
