Required Training for DSPs

These are the required trainings for Direct Support Professionals at ASN. If you are not a DSP, please refer to your tasks and expirations in Setworks to see what your specific position requires. (You may have modules available in Open Future Learning which are not required for you. Only modules which have been assigned in Setworks will be paid.)

You are paid for the trainings listed here at standard rate; you don’t need to enter time for them. Training is paid out on the 3rd Friday of the month after the training was completed (training completed in Jan will be paid in Feb, etc).

Most of our courses are on Open Future Learning (OFL). You create an OFL account during the onboarding process. (If you have an account but can't log in to it, please contact us.) We receive confirmation of OFL modules automatically, so you don’t need to turn the certificates in yourself. A few courses are on other sites (“third party” training); instructions are provided for how to complete and submit those.
