State Training Requirement Lookup
Pick your state and care setting to see what your staff must complete, by when, how often, and the rule that says so.
Researched by Training & eTracking Solutions, which has trained 200,000+ professionals. Every requirement links to its official source and shows when we last reviewed it.
Why DSP training requirements differ by state
There's no single national standard for direct support training. Each state sets its own rules through legislation, administrative code, Medicaid waiver requirements and agency guidance. Some states require formal certification. Others set topics, deadlines and competency checks without a statewide hour count. For agencies working in more than one state, the hard part is the tracking: the right training, for the right role, on the right clock, with proof.
How we build and check this data
Each state record comes from our state requirement guides and links to the official rule behind every item. We show who regulates the setting and when we last reviewed the record. If we haven't verified something, we say so instead of guessing.
From requirements to proof
Knowing the rules is step one. TES compliance pathways map courses to state requirements, and our tracking shows every staff member against every requirement, with evidence attached and exports ready for your next survey.
