Fully translated courses give you access to high-quality learning experiences.
Even if you speak English fluently or want to learn English, a course in your primary language may be a better fit to set you up for success and get you working faster as a caregiver.
The Member Resource Center (MRC) can help you find Basic Training or Continuing Education (CE) courses near you in your preferred languages when you call to enroll.
If no courses are available in your preferred language, you can get language support for:
Basic Training Courses
Fully translated Basic Training courses may be available in up to 9 different languages and English. You can request a professional interpreter if there are no courses available near you.
Languages include:
- Spanish
- Russian
- Cantonese
- Arabic
- Amharic
- Korean
- Vietnamese
- Cambodian
- Somali
If you are taking an English Basic Training course with an interpreter, translated course materials can be provided in:
- Amharic
- Nepali
- Samoan
- Tagalog
- Ukrainian
- Laotian
- Farsi
- Punjabi
If you primarily speak any of these languages, you will need an interpreter for the class, but you will receive some materials in your own language.
CE Courses
All standard Home Care Aides (HCAs) and Adult Child Providers must complete 12 CE credits every year before their birthday.
Community Interpreter
Some online, webinar and in-person instructor-led CE courses may be offered in your preferred language. When you call the MRC to enroll in these courses, they can let you know what classes are available.
If there are no CE courses available in your preferred language, you can use a community interpreter. A community interpreter is a friend or relative over the age of 18 that is not your client.
