CPS courses are for anyone wanting to become a licensed adult foster home provider, and for providers already operating one or more facilities.
CPS courses are designed for those that value education, growth, and improvement (especially as a way to save time and money), and those looking for ways to advance their knowledge instead of relying on a 'fake it until you make it' philosophy.
Our Five Star Courses are tailored to address the most critical topics AFC owners want and need to understand in order to succeed.
Care Provider Solutions courses are approved by the Department of Labor, and were developed over 12 years of ownership and operation of multiple award-winning homes. They are designed to help relieve some of the frustrations you constantly address, in an easy to follow format.
