Efficiently Train in One Week for Multiple Courses

Our four train-the-trainer courses will allow you to become a trainer of the CBRF state curriculum and are designed to mostly take place over the course of one business week to efficiently train instructors in one, two or three state-mandated subjects. The exception is Standard Precautions, which overlaps with the final section of Medication Administration. All of our instructors are either nurses or firefighter/EMTs and approved by the Training Registry.

Our courses are approved for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding, which is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training and support services. Learn more on WIOA website or get in touch with your area Job Center.

Our courses are also approved by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Bureau of Assisted Living, the Division of Quality Assurance and the Wisconsin Community-Based Care and Treatment Training Registry (Training Registry) for individuals seeking approval as assisted living instructors without a medical and emergency service background. All instructors are approved by the Training Registry.
