Caregiver Testimonial

"I signed up for a course at a college campus and studied to get a caregiving certificate. It took me the whole summer. I learned more with Caregiver Training University's course than in the college campus course. You really do understand caregiving in the home."

- A. Nova, Palo Alto, California

"Since I was certified as a caregiver for your company as of August, 2017, just before my husband went into hospice care, I can tell you that certification helped me with the hospice staff. My husband was going in and out of the hospital before he went into hospice. When I said to them "I am a certified caregiver", it really made a difference in how the medical staff engaged with me. The nurses in the hospital room even began showing me how to read his medical chart on the room's computer."

- M.E. Forbes, Virginia

"Thank you for the training! I PASSED with a 92%. I'm so proud of it! My Mom would have been proud of me. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! I really love the course. I cared for my Mom before she passed away from kidney cancer and diapering was a chore. She was on hospice. I want to be prepared and I do enjoy working with the elderly and am learning so much in the Caregiver Training University courses."
