Why Become a Caregiver?

While it's important to learn about how to become a caregiver, it's equally important to understand your role in it. As the elderly population in the United States continues to grow, the need for compassionate and experienced elderly caregivers rises as well. Whether you already care for a family member or want to start a new career, we can give you the tools and training that you need and teach you how to become a caregiver.

In learning how to become a caregiver, you will ultimately be in a position to provide high-quality care to the elderly and develop useful skills that will benefit you as you move forward with your career.

How Do You Become a Caregiver?

Understanding why and how to become a caregiver are important but so too is understanding the caregiver certification process. As the national certifying organization for caregivers, we offer several online certification courses at affordable prices that will give you the skills you need to perform your duties at a high level, regardless of the setting.

Getting certified is simple. Order your course, wait for an email, then start your course. It's all done through email and completed on your schedule and time frame, as all courses are self-study. So, if you can do email, you can do our caregiver certification courses. After you complete your course, we will certify you and place you in our National Caregiver Registry (NCR) of certified caregivers.

Finally, our courses not only teach you how to become a caregiver and enhance your resume but also provide you with added credentialing as you look to work in the caregiver industry in any capacity; whether as a private duty or family caregiver or for an insurance purpose or when you want to start your own caregiver business.
