Got a Question?

Caregiver training requirements in Hawaii vary by role.

  • Personal Care Aides (PCAs) may require 100 hours of initial training, but this role may need state-approved training and may not be directly applicable to L2C.
  • Homemakers provide non-medical support such as housekeeping, shopping, meal preparation, errands, transportation support, and medication reminders. Annual training is generally left to the agency for discretion.
  • HHA/CNA roles follow separate approval-based training requirements and may require a formal training pathway.

Certification requirements in Hawaii depend on the caregiver role.

  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) and Personal Care Aides (PCAs) may be required to meet state-approved training and qualification standards, and some settings may need to hold or meet CNA-equivalent qualifications, depending on the employer or program.
  • Homemakers and non-medical caregivers are not required to be certified and typically follow agency-defined training and competency requirements.

Yes. Online caregiver training is widely used for continuing education and homemaker initial training across the islands to support compliance documentation for geographically distributed teams.

Learn2Care supports Hawaii agencies with mobile-friendly training, flexible access for remote teams, and simple, cross-island compliance tracking.
