Certification Program
Added:04/25/2023 08:17

Course Description
WHY DO I HAVE TO RE-CERTIFY?
After completing the original two-hour Dependent Adult Abuse Mandatory certification training, you are required by law to renew your certification every three years by taking the one-hour recertification course.
REGULATION REQUIREMENTS
Every individual required to report suspected abuse as defined in Iowa Code 232.69(1) and Iowa Code 235B.3(2) must complete two-hours of mandatory reporter training within their first six months of employment or self-employment and one hour of additional training every three years (unless otherwise specified by federal regulations). If your employment qualifies you as a mandatory reporter for both child abuse and dependent adult abuse, you are required to take both trainings and maintain certification for both curricula.
Mandatory reporters must take the one-hour recertification training within 3 years of the initial two-hour training, and every 3 years thereafter, in order to remain in compliance with the law.
If a mandatory reporter goes one day beyond the expiration of their current certification, they must then complete the 2-hour training instead of the one-hour recertification training.
WHO MUST TAKE THIS TRAINING?
It is everyone’s responsibility to report suspected abuse. Iowa Code section232.69 defines some professionals as mandatory reporters of child abuse, and Iowa Code section 235B.3(2) defines some professionals as mandatory reporters of dependent adult abuse.
