Registry Provider Orientation and Training Classes

Step One: Orientation

Orientation classes will take you through the application, fingerprinting and training process and explain how to obtain work through the IHSS Registry. You must call our registry specialist at 558-4881 to register for the orientation class.

Step Two: Fingerprinting & Background Check

Once you have completed the orientation class, you will be given a fingerprinting form and instructions on how to complete your fingerprinting and background check. Link2Care will pay for your fingerprinting and background check if you complete the orientation and application process.

After completing the fingerprinting process, you must attend our two day caregiver training class. Again, call 558-4881 to register for this class. You MUST register for this class before attending.
