Got a Question?

Caregiver training requirements in North Dakota vary by home-based care roles and are primarily provider- and service-based:

  • Qualified Service Providers (QSPs) – Adults & Aging do not have a fixed statewide hour requirement but must complete service-specific training and demonstrate competency based on the tasks they are approved to provide.
  • Private-Pay caregivers follow agency-defined onboarding, safety training, and competency expectations.
  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) follow separate structured training programs (typically 75 initial hours and 12 annual hours) when working under licensed home health services.

For home-based care roles in North Dakota, certification is generally not required.

  • Qualified Service Providers (QSPs) – Adults & Aging are not required to hold a state certification, but must complete service-specific training and demonstrate competency for the tasks they provide.
  • Private-Pay caregivers also do not require certification and follow agency-defined training and onboarding requirements.
  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) may follow formal training and competency programs when working under licensed home health services, but this is separate from most non-medical home care roles.

Yes, online caregiver training is widely used to support onboarding, continuing education, and caregiver development across rural communities.

Learn2Care helps agencies manage remote caregiver teams with flexible mobile learning, centralized tracking, and simple compliance support.

Caregiver training in North Dakota is role-based and should reflect on the services provided in home-based care.

Key topics may include:

  • Caregiver role and service responsibilities
  • Client rights, dignity, and privacy
  • Communication and documentation
  • Infection control and home safety
  • Personal care and ADL support, when assigned
  • Meal preparation, homemaking, and daily routine support
  • Emergency awareness and reporting concerns
  • Task-specific training based on the client’s care needs

For Qualified Service Providers (QSPs) and Private-Pay caregivers, training is typically tied to the approved services, agency policy, and competency expectations rather than a single statewide topic list.
