Direct Support Worker Training Information
The Direct Support Worker Training Information section provides information about the DSW training currently being viewed.
Training Type
Select the training type from the Training Type drop-down list. The available options are:
Completion Date
Enter the date the training was completed in the Completion Date field. The date must be entered in the format of MM/DD/YYYY and cannot be a future date.
Expiration Date
Enter the date your training certification expires in the Expiration Date field if the training has an expiration date. The expiration date must be on or after the completion date. If there is no expiration date, skip this field.
Certification Number
Type the training certification number in the Certification Number field. This field only accepts 13 characters, but some certifications will have certification numbers with more than 13 characters. Only add the numbers of the certification, not the letters. Do not include the last 8 digits of the certification number because those represent the date the training was taken and DHS does not need them.
Example: If your certification number is CFSSPCA104648320220728, you would only enter 1046483 in the Certification Number field.
Training Status
This field is for office use only. Provider Eligibility and Compliance completes the Training Status field upon the review of the request to add a DSW training to a DSW’s enrollment record. One of the following training status types will appear after the request has been reviewed:
Supporting Documentation
The Supporting Documentation field shows any uploaded document added to this section.
Remove Upload

Upload Supporting Documentation
Use the Upload Supporting Documentation box to upload a copy of the DSW’s training certification. Supporting documentation is not required. Click on the words Upload Supporting Documentation or click on the icon shaped like an eye to open a dialogue box on your computer which will allow you to select a document to upload.
