where can i get certified home aide license?

There are two main ways to get certified home aide license:

- Enroll in a home aide training program. These programs are offered by community colleges, vocational schools, and private training providers. They typically last for 75 to 120 hours and cover topics such as personal care, nutrition, first aid, and medical terminology.

- Pass the Home Health Aide (HHA) exam. This is a national exam that is administered by the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC). To be eligible to take the HHA exam, you must have completed a home aide training program or have worked for at least one year as a home aide.

The requirements for obtaining a certified home aide license vary from state to state. In some states, you may be required to complete both a training program and the HHA exam. In other states, you may only need to complete one or the other.

To find out more about the requirements for obtaining a certified home aide license in your state, contact your state's Department of Health or Department of Social Services.
