Online Courses for RCFE Administrators

Are You a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) Administrator? Class Is in Session for Your CE Credits!

As a certified RCFE Administrator, you are required by the California Department of Social Services to submit continuing education (CE) certificates from an approved vendor (such as Essential CEU Institute) every two years in order to meet re-certification requirements. In California, DSS is also referred to as the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD).

Essential CEU Institute is a DSS-approved provider of continuing education for RCFE Administrators in California (RCFE provider number 2000551 740-2). For rules governing RCFE certification continuing education credit, participants should contact their respective regulatory boards.

Whether you're seeking an RCFE administrator class, taking a state-proctored exam, or looking to augment your cultural competency to improve client services, Essential CEU offers the approved courses you need to maintain and expand your role as a certified RCFE Administrator.

Please note: By teaching RCFE continuing education courses, Essential CEU Institute provides continuing education units for re-certifications and renewals needed to remain a successful RCFE Administrator in California. We do not offer any RCFE administrator class as an initial certification course or an initial certification training program.

On this webpage, look over our lineup of affordable, high-quality, human-run RCFE continuing education units, and register for courses or subscribe for updates online 24/7 at www.EssentialCEU.Institute. We provide all the class materials and live classroom training you'll need for satisfactory course completion.

Make sure you meet all California regulations for RCFE Administrator certification. Choose your preferred online courses for RCFE Administrators here in our RCFE Administrator certification section:
