Florida assisted living, the core, the in-service hours and the renewals, tracked per person.
Florida’s assisted living rule stacks training on every facility: 26 hours of core training and a competency test for administrators within three months, 12 hours of continuing education every two years, a 2-hour preservice orientation before any resident contact, the in-service block in the first 30 days, HIV/AIDS and DNRO training, medication assistance with its 2 annual hours, and ECC, limited mental health and Alzheimer’s hours by license. Training & eTracking Solutions delivers the open topics as courses, records the state-channel items beside them, and tracks every clock so the file is ready when AHCA asks.
The Florida requirements, mapped
Every training line in the Florida rule, covered
Florida’s assisted living staff training rule (59A-36.011) is the source of truth. Here is what it requires of administrators, new hires, direct care staff and licensed specialties, and what we cover for each.

The core training must come from a Department of Elder Affairs registered trainer and the six medication hours from a nurse or pharmacist; Florida keeps those channels. Everything else in the Florida rule — preservice orientation, the 30-day in-service block, HIV/AIDS, DNRO, the annual medication and nutrition hours, ECC, limited mental health and dementia training — is delivered on our platform, and the state-channel items are recorded beside them. Every certificate carries the title, subject, hours, dates and provider the rule requires, and administrator continuing education is NAB/NCERS-approved: 36.75 participant hours, program approval code 20261214-36.75-A116953-DL.

Beyond the mandate
A full learning platform, not a certificate mill
The mapped hours get you through the survey. The rest of the platform is why facilities stay: a course library of 700-plus titles across senior care, dementia, behavioral health and workplace safety, modern e-learning, and automation that runs the annual cycle for you.
Florida requirement mapping
Florida’s assisted living training rule as a live checklist: the administrator core and two-year CE clock, the 30-day in-service block for every new direct care hire, the annual medication and nutrition hours, and the ECC, limited mental health and dementia hours by license, per person.
Live compliance dashboard
Every staff member against every requirement in one grid: green when satisfied, flagged when due, evidence attached. When the surveyor asks, the answer is one screen away.
Auto-enroll, auto-renew, auto-remind
New hires land in their orientation and cognitive-impairment hours on day one. Annual requirements renew themselves. Reminders chase completions so your manager doesn’t have to.
Create and host your own training
Upload your policies, service-plan procedures and emergency plans, or build a course in-platform, and roll them out beside the catalog with the same tracking.
Available in up to 23 languages
Courses deliverable in up to 23 languages with localized narration and assessments, so every aide trains in the language they think in.
Certificates and transcripts that travel
Every completion produces a printable certificate and a permanent transcript. Records export any time; you never lose the ability to prove compliance.
DirectCareChat
An AI care assistant for the floor: staff ask a policy, care or procedure question and get a reliable answer grounded in the trainings they actually took.
