In short

  • Aides and CNAs get in-service training every calendar year, before December 31.
  • Keep your CPR card current. It must come from an approved course with an in-person skills test. If it expires, you cannot work with clients until you renew it.
  • If you give personal care, homemaker or companion services, finish 2 more hours of dementia training within 7 months of starting.
  • If you may touch blood at work, you get bloodborne pathogens training every year.
  • Give the office a copy of every certificate. The office reminds you before anything is due.
