Continuing Education
Requirements for Washington

Boarding Home & Assisted Living Facility
Continuing education is additional caregiving-related training designed to increase and keep current a person's knowledge and skills. DSHS does not preapprove continuing education programs or instructors. Individuals subject to a continuing education requirement must complete at least ten hours of continuing education each calendar year (January 1 through December 31) after the year in which they successfully complete basic or modified basic training. One hour of completed classroom instruction or other form of training (such as a video or on-line course) equals one hour of continuing education.

Nursing Home Facilities
Licensed nursing home administrators must demonstrate completion of thirty-six hours of continuing education every two years
