Guest kim Vickers Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Hi Debbie, Yes, Michael is correct. The closest place to get your certification is at the American River College near Sacramento. I am an Activity consultant in Chico so we're not that far apart. If your administrator is willing to hire an activity consultant to help get you started with OBRA and Title 22, I'd be willing to drive there once a month for a few meetings. Good luck with your new job. With your background, the job will come easy. The hard part is getting support from your administrator and the other departments. Call or e-mail if I can be of assistance. Kim Vickers, A.C.C. kvick@sbcglobal.net or 530-343-5983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeliquepache 1 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I live in the Bay Area and I took at Activity Director class in Sacramento. Go to Communityeducantion.com and they offer classes. It's 5 classes for 3 weekends and your done. It's a state program so any business with 16 or more clients will hire you as an AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
