Formerly known as Learning Plan 5.

This program is designed for caregivers who have already completed a population-specific training, such as (but not limited to) Mental Health, Dementia, or Nurse Delegation, and need to complete the remaining requirements for Home Care Aide (HCA) certification in Washington State.

The HCA Certification Program options are partial training pathways that allow students to apply previously completed training toward the 75-hour HCA requirement, helping them avoid repeating coursework.

This option is ideal for caregivers who want a fully online, self-paced pathway to certification.

This Program Includes:

• Orientation & Safety

• Core Basic training

• Online skills lab with video demonstrations and assignments

• Credit for approved population-specific training

• Core Basic review and final exam

To receive the DSHS 75-hour Home Care Aide certificate, students submit proof of completed population-specific training. Proof is not required to enroll and can be sent any time before the program is finished.
