As an administrator, you can assign additional classes outside of your caregivers mandated initial and annual curriculum at any time. When assigned, additional classes are available to your caregiver immediately. If you choose to designate a due date, the caregiver will begin receiving reminders to complete the additional training 60 days before the due date.
In this article:
- How to add additional classes to an individual caregiver
- How to assign additional classes in bulk to multiple caregivers
Important: It's not possible for a caregiver to be enrolled in the same class twice at the same time. The class will only be available to assign via the "Add Class" feature if it meets both requirements:
- Class is available in your CareAcademy package
- Respective caregiver is not actively enrolled in the course or scheduled to be enrolled.
In other words, if a caregiver is scheduled to have this class assigned via the Annual Scheduling tool, then an admin will be unable to assign this course via the "Add Training" feature.

Step 6: Review the class(es) to be enrolled. You can modify your selection by selecting Remove or Add More Classes. Once you're ready, click Enroll.
