What Is Caregiver Training?
Caregiver training is a structured program teaching individuals how to deliver quality care to those in need, including seniors, individuals with disabilities, and people recovering from illnesses.
We combine hands-on workshops with personalized coaching and supervision. Whether you’re new to caregiving or looking to advance your skills, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
Signs You Need Caregiver Training
Caregiver training is essential for anyone looking to provide quality care or advance in healthcare. Here are a few reasons that enrolling in our program might be the right choice:
You care for a loved one at home. Family caregivers benefit from enhanced skills and education to provide better care.
- You are already a caregiver for a non-family member. In Washington State, it is a legal requirement for non-family caregivers to have an HCA or NAC license and complete the class within 180 days.
- You’re transitioning into healthcare. Many roles in healthcare begin with a strong caregiving foundation.
- You want professional certification. Completing the HCA certification process allows you to work legally in many care settings. Once you obtain your state certification, you can upgrade to the next-level certification with the NAC/CNA bridge program. This certification allows you to work in nursing homes, medical clinics, and hospitals.
The Importance of Education and Education Plans
According to caregiving best practices, continuous education is critical for meeting the evolving needs of care recipients. At Sunrise Services Inc., we ensure that you remain informed and well-equipped for the future by offering 12 new credits of Continued Education each year. The classes are 100% online and can be started immediately upon online enrollment. All 12 credits are only $180.00, and all are DSHS-approved for license renewal.

Excellent NA-C bridge training by seasoned nurse! Helpful and friendly staff. Great email communication including pre-class checklist. This location has the hands-on lab to learn and practice for our test. And a plus: it’s the same location of the test. I recommend Sunrise Services Caregiver Training.
Nurse’s Assistant Certification: The instructor did a marvelous job of engaging the class, humanizing the material, and pacing the course.
I enjoyed my time thoroughly. The price of the course comes with an abundantly stocked training area- in addition to all materials provided before the beginning of class.
Thanks!
I took the HCA bridge to NAC course through Sunrise Caregiver Training. I am so pleased with the staff and the curriculum! Especially Darla my instructor, she is so knowledgeable and helpful. Overall I had a great experience!
