In partnership between the Council on Aging Public Authority Services and Sunnyvale Cupertino Adult and Community Education we offer a selection of nine courses to help develop the skills necessary for providing quality in-home service and prevent injuries. The common goal is to support the providers with knowledge to share with their consumers. This training educates the providers to practice compassionate, quality healthcare in the consumers’ home; promoting comfort, independence and dignity. This training is exclusively offered to IHSS Independent Providers—you must be currently working as a provider to enroll in classes.
You can earn a Certificate of Completion from the Sunnyvale Cupertino Adult Education Center when you complete all nine of the following courses:

A job development/life enhancement fund is available for Independent Providers (IPs) of IHSS in Santa Clara County.

IPs may be reimbursed for a maximum of $350.00 per calendar year for the cost of tuition and texts (but no other materials) to attend programs or courses of education and training.
