Personal Care Attendant Training Program provides critically needed training for personal and home care aides, one of the top 10 fastest-growing occupations in the country. With the rapidly aging population, hundreds of thousands more home care providers are needed.

The thoroughly researched, well-organized curriculum provides 40-hours of classroom training, which can be augmented with externship hours. It is written at a 5th-grade literacy level and designed according to principles of adult learning theory. The program utilizes a variety of learning modalities to optimize retention of material.

This comprehensive program allows you to open the door to train underserved populations such as dislocated workers, minority groups, public assistance recipients and individuals who speak English as a second language, many of whom could become excellent care providers.
