People who are new to direct support and want to understand the work before they are hired.

This credential verifies completion of DSPlife's Direct Support Professional knowledge curriculum. Hands-on skills training (such as CPR/First Aid and medication administration) and employer orientation are completed with the hiring provider.

Employers still provide your orientation and hands-on training when you're hired.
