Hello everyone. I am in VA and hoping someone out there can help me. I am a CNA in an assisted living facility and am intersted in becoming an activity director. I dont know where to begin though. Is there some type of class you take? Im sure you have to have some type of knowledge but Im just not sure where to begin. Can anyone help me out here?

It sort of depends on the state rules/laws. Some require you are certified some do not. I would volunteer first. This is a tougher job than it looks. Read the posts have helped me for I had no traning and no one to train me that has helped me!

 

Good luck!!!!

You need to go to two web-sites:

http://www.activitydirector.org look at the MEPAP courses

you can also call us & we will be more than happy to talk with you 1-888-238-0444

 

the other site is most important one:

http://www.NCCAP.org

look at Activity Director Certified & then levels of certifcation
