NICCM's Texas Director Credential Program is considered the most user friendly, most specifically helpful, and often least expensive program a new director can take to gain their qualifications in the state of Texas. Our program is offered nationally through 2 and a half day events as well as locally in Texas at least once a month. We are also the only national director's credential program that offers a Web Based Distance Learning Program.
