Got a Question?

Caregiver training requirements in Georgia vary by role and follow a structured, role-based approach.

  • Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) must complete 40 hours of initial training (with part completed before working and the remainder within 6 months), along with a competency evaluation before performing assigned tasks.
  • Companions or Sitters must complete training or demonstrate competency in areas such as communication, home safety, meal preparation, transportation, and infection control.
  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) follow separate training programs depending on the agency and level of care.
  • Most roles require ongoing annual training (typically 8 hours) based on job responsibilities.

Caregiver training in Georgia is role-specific and focuses on practical, task-based skills aligned with job responsibilities.

Key training topics include:

  • Personal care skills (bathing, grooming, toileting, dressing, mobility support)
  • Infection control and home safety practices
  • Communication and client interaction
  • Observation, reporting, and documentation
  • Nutrition and meal preparation
  • Supporting clients with chronic conditions or special needs
  • Emergency awareness and response within caregiver scope

Training is designed to ensure caregivers can safely perform assigned tasks and demonstrate competency, rather than follow a single standardized topic list across all roles.

PCAs do not need to be state-certified, but agencies must verify competency before assigning caregiving responsibilities.

Yes. Online training is commonly used for onboarding, continuing education, and annual in-service training requirements.

Learn2Care helps Georgia agencies create clear competency records, deliver structured training, and stay prepared for audits and compliance reviews.
