Certification for Caregivers offers increased confidence and marketability

I'm really excited to be able to share some new happenings here at the Institute for Professional Care Education (IPCed).  We've just launched our newest series of courses, especially designed for in-home caregivers.  They're a set of Caregiver Certifications, from our most basic (called Caregiver Core) all the way to our 4th level certification, the Home Health Aide course.  Completing this last level of online certifications gives the worker everything he or she needs to become a Certified Home Health Aide except the required 16 hours of supervised practical training (we call it "clinicals").  For that last component, we have all the material to certify instructors and provide them with their Instructor Guide so that they can supervise and sign off on the required skills for the worker. 

Why is this such an exciting program for us and for our clients?

Because caregiver training matters.  It matter to the caregiver - giving them a greater sense of pride and commitment to the company and client. 

It matters to the home care agency - giving them some important material to share with prospective clients and referral sources about their commitment to quality care.

It matters to the consumer - giving them the assurance that they can place their trust in an agency and their caregivers during a time when their need is high and their anxiety is often higher.

It matters to us - giving us yet another vehicle to fulfill our mission of enhancing quality of care through quality training. 

And it's a perfect fit with our motto:

Passionate about training - passionate about quality.  That's IPCed.
