ANNUAL TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
Training Requirements can be found in the Appendices for Rule 5123-9-09 (Independent Provider Certification)
Annual Training is tracked by calendar year. Meaning a Provider can complete their training anytime between January 1 and December 31 each year.
Department provided curriculum can be found through DODD MyLearning
You must have a full 8 hours of training annually (2 hours of Department/DODD provided training, and the 6 additional hours that can be a combination of DODD materials and other training). The six hours of training required annually are in topics selected by the Provider. This means you must find training(s) that are applicable to the services you provide and/or individuals you serve. DODD does offer some supplementary training materials that can count toward those additional 6 hours but to be in compliance,
