I am a new applicant seeking licensure. When do my administrator and alternate administrator have to complete the initial eight hours of training?
It depends. If the administrator of the prospective agency has been an administrator of a HCSSA before Dec. 1, 2006, the application must include documentation of the previous designation and experience, and the individual has a year from the date of the license to complete the 12-hour continuing education requirement. If the administrator is being designated for the first time, the administrator must complete the initial eight hours of training before designation. In the case of initial licensure, this is before the applicant submits the licensing application. Without appropriate documentation, DADS will not consider the application complete.
