Changes to Administrator Certification Training Requirements
PIN 23-14-CCLD – (Changes to Administrator Certification Training Requirements)
Pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 120, prospective and current Certified Administrators have the option to satisfy live training requirements for Initial Certification Training Programs (ICTP) and Continuing Education Training Programs (CETP) via Department-approved in-person or live-stream training. Additionally, AB 120 clarifies the requirements for individuals seeking certification or recertification as an ARFPSHN Administrator. Please refer to PIN 23-14-CCLD for more information regarding the changes to the administrator certification training requirements, including changes to course format terminology.
Administrators and vendors are encouraged to become familiar with the amendments to Health and Safety Code sections 1522.41, 1562.3, 1567.50, and 1569.616.
Vendor Automation Platform
The ACB encourages vendors to submit vendor applications, course requests, change of instructor requests, rosters, etc., using the Vendor Automation Platform. The platform allows vendors to track submissions and receive ACB notices confirming the transaction.
Registering to access the system is free and easy. A one-time registration for your vendorship will be required upon your first use of service. Registering for an account does not mean you are an approved vendor.
If you have questions or wish to share feedback on the Vendor Automation Platform, contact the Administrator Certification Bureau – Vendor Support and Review Unit at: ACSVendorInfo@dss.ca.gov.
