The Elder-Host Certificate Training Program 

A Compassion-Based Approach to better serving and supporting older customers

We offer a unique interactive learning experience that takes participants through a virtual journey of aging. 

This focused evidence-based training will help you become more sensitized to the realities of Aging and Ageism. We include interactive exercises that help our students develop assessment, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Participants discover relevant, practical strategies they can use and apply immediately. These are invaluable life skills that will help you excel on and off the job.
