Are there a certain number of hours of in-service training required for re-certification?

0

A. No. Proof of in-service training/education hours is not required for certification renewal. It is the burden of the employers to ensure that they are providing their CNAs with the appropriate number of in-service hours, based on the type of health care facility or agency. For example, nursing homes that have Medicare and/or Medicaid certification must provide 12 hours of in-service training per year to CNAs, according to Federal regulations. These in-service training sessions should be individualized to reflect the special needs of the resident population as identified by facility staff, and they should address areas of weaknesses identified in the CNAs’ performance reviews.
