Minnesota’s 245D annual refresher training requirement is not optional — and the 2026 updates make staying current more important than ever. This 245D Annual Refresher Course 2026 is designed specifically for Direct Support Professionals, Designated Coordinators, and Designated Managers working under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 245D home care licensure. Completing this course helps your agency meet the annual training mandate required under Minn. Stat. §245D.09, Subd. 4, which requires license holders to provide ongoing competency-based training to all direct support staff every calendar year.
This 11-lesson refresher course covers the most critical compliance topics updated for the 2026 DHS regulatory cycle, including person-centered service delivery, vulnerable adult maltreatment prevention and reporting, positive support strategies, and updated documentation standards. Each lesson includes a quiz to verify competency and generate a completion record suitable for your agency’s personnel file audit trail.
