Home Health Aide Certification Program
The CareAcademy HHA Certification Program uses an innovative, blended training model to certify new home health aides (HHA). The foundation of the program is a competency-based curriculum that meets the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Conditions of Participation for Home Health Aide Services (42 CFR § 484.80).
The program begins with an in-person orientation, in which participants are introduced to the program’s goals and structure. The curriculum includes:
- 59 hours of CareAcademy online classes
- 17+ hours of in-person training and skills practice (with your own instructor)
- Instructor manual and lesson plans to deliver in-person skills training
- The sixth week culminates with an end-of-program knowledge exam.

Features of CareAcademy Training
Mobile-Friendly, Engaging Classes for Caregivers
Many caregivers do not have a computer in the home, so classes are designed to be taken on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Getting caregivers to complete training on time is easy because our scenario based videos and interactive elements make classes engaging and memorable.
Automated Reminders Ensure High Class Completion
Go on vacation! Automatic smart reminders ensure on-time class completion based on your state and company requirements. This combined with the convenience of taking classes on a smartphone result in a 92% class completion rate!
Never Re-Train New Hires
Caregivers today typically work with multiple home care agencies. We give caregivers the power to access their completion records after they’ve left an agency, and easily send that certificate of completion to you. Never waste time re-training your new hires again.

Reports at your Fingertips
Easily download training logs and compliance reports using CareAcademy. We work with state compliance auditors across the nation to ensure your documentation is always survey-ready!
