In-Service Training for UAPs

The annual training hours your unlicensed care team needs, taught so they actually stick.

Care team members in an in-service session, one raising a hand to ask a question

Most states require in-service training for CNAs and care team members at assisted living communities. Engagement Through Education makes that training easy to access and worth attending.

Texas sets the floor in 26 TAC §553.253. Direct-care staff need four hours of orientation before taking on any job responsibility, 16 hours of supervised on-the-job training within their first 16 hours of work, and six documented hours of education every year. One of those six has to cover fall prevention and one has to cover behavior management. Communities employing licensed nurses or certified aides owe them annual in-service appropriate to the job as well.

We never talk down to our students, and we never talk over their heads. We meet your team where they are and teach in a way that helps them learn quickly.

Custom courses for your team. We can build a training around your community specifically. We take the time to understand your team, your community and your needs, then design the course to match. For deeper support, look at our Nursing Leadership Development Program and our RN delegation consulting.

The trouble with most training

A box to check, once a year

If your team has to attend training every year regardless, the usual approach treats it as an obligation to get through. A class is delivered, then the trainer walks away.

How ours is different

We stay after the class ends

We don't just give you a class and leave. We mentor your team, answer questions and provide ongoing support. If the training is mandatory anyway, it may as well be engaging and empowering.
