HCA Certification Program (Virtual Skills Labs, No O&S, No Pop. Spec.)

Price: $408.00

Formerly known as Learning Plan 6.


This program is designed for caregivers who have already completed both Orientation & Safety and a population-specific training, such as 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 and complete certification more efficiently.


This is the most streamlined self-paced option and is ideal for caregivers who want to complete their remaining training fully online.


This Program Includes:

  • Core Basic training (excluding Orientation & Safety)

  • 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 Orientation and Safety and population-specific training. Proof is not required to enroll and can be sent any time before the program is finished.

Intended Audience: Long-term care workers (LTCW), home care aides (HCA), nursing assistants (NAR/NAC), registered nurses (RN) and other healthcare professionals.
