Why You Should Attend QCHF's DSD 24-Hour Training:

CDPH knows us and has worked with us for 25+ years. They know the education and product we produce and teach is exceptional, and we have never had any complaints from them.
We review and update our DSD program every year and include items we feel are important to any DSD, whether they are new or have been a DSD for 20 years.
This is what QCHF does; our goal and mission is to produce valuable and needed education to the long-term care profession.
We feel this type of education can't be taught via an online program. Our class is interactive and gives the participant the needed tools, resources and networking needed to succeed as a DSD.
We help attendees with forms, Title 22, and teaching tools, and train them to teach to adult learners.
We provide breakfast, lunch and breaks every day and encourage networking amongst our attendees. To this day, we have DSDs that still communicate with each other.
We provide a resource page that is only accessible to a DSD that goes to this training - everything from scheduling to time management to filing systems is included.
