Provider Training

The IHSS Public Authority helps providers and clients locate a variety of training opportunities in their area. By working cooperatively with several agencies throughout San Bernardino County, we strive to provide a number of diverse options for both the provider and client. We look for a high level of quality in all of our training resources.

Training is an important tool in supporting the daily routine of all care providers. From working safely in the home to proper lifting techniques, the Public Authority can assist in locating training classes that are low cost or in many cases free to all IHSS providers.

These training opportunities are limited to IHSS clients registry providers. To ensure the quality of trainings, class sizes are limited. Click on the links below for the training schedules and register today!
