Adult Family Caregivers Network
Are you tired of the time and effort involved in arranging trainings for caregivers? Have busy schedules and the high cost of gas impacted training efforts? The Adult Family Caregivers Network (AFCN) CE Test can help.
How it works/cost: Caregivers conveniently complete the CE Test in their home. They read the three-page article, answer the questions on the back, and turn it in to their support agency. Participating AFCN agencies, in turn, can then credit caregivers with one hour of training each month. A one year Agency membership to the AFCN CE Test includes one agency CE Test with answers, one certificate of completion and one caregiver CE Test per month for $36 annually (Additional tests for caregivers cost $18/year, that’s only $1.50 per 1 hour of training credit.) We always encourage you to check with the licensing entity in your state to ensure that this type of training will be counted toward training hours. See also the FAQ link, or call us with questions at 715-258-2448.
Who can join/what is covered: Both individual, private, and public agencies and organizations can sign up, but agency and organizational membership allows multiple caregivers to complete CE Tests. New CE Tests are published monthly. Noted experts in caregiving often cover topics. See our editorial calendar for topics scheduled to be covered in 2008.
