HHA 12-Hour Annual In-Service

Twelve hours of in-service education for home health aides, delivered online in eight 1.5-hour modules. Built for aides who check vital signs, assist with medications and care for clients with complex needs.

The New York rule. Home health aides must complete at least 12 hours of in-service education every year. The year can follow the calendar or the aide's hire anniversary, and orientation for new aides does not count toward the 12 hours.

How an aide completes it

The aide opens the private link from your email, confirms their Employee ID and birth year, and works through the modules in any order. Progress saves automatically, so they can stop and continue later on any device.

Each module's test opens after the aide has spent the lesson time online. After all eight tests are passed, the aide confirms in writing that they completed the training themselves, and it goes to your RN for review and signature.
