Professional Development Certification

The Oregon Home Care Commission recognizes homecare workers and personal support workers who are life-long learners and want to continue developing their skills through the Professional Development Certification program.

Gain knowledge and stay current on skills that you can apply immediately to your work.
SB1534 (mandatory training) requirements are met once you have your PDC.
Best of all, the courses are free, you may qualify for a stipend and you will get a pay differential too!
A PDC meets the pre-requisite requirements for the Enhanced Certification and the Community Health Worker Certification.
