Federal rules require nursing homes to give each nurse aide at least 12 hours of in-service training a year, and those hours must include dementia management and abuse prevention training (42 CFR 483.95(g)). The Annual In-Service Pack brings together four Impact Training Company courses that cover both required topics and add about 2.5 hours of margin above the 12-hour minimum.
About 14.5 hours. 100 percent online and self-paced, written at a plain-language reading level. Each course has its own certificate of completion, and the pack includes an Annual In-Service Hours Log your staff development coordinator can file with the aide’s training record.
Federal rules also say in-service training must address weaknesses found in each aide’s performance review and the facility assessment, and some states only accept hours from approved providers. Impact Training Company does not claim these hours are approved or accepted. Ask your facility whether these hours count toward your annual in-service requirement.

Each course earns an ITC certificate of completion. These courses are not a state-approved nurse aide training program, they do not change your scope of practice, and they do not promise a job or a raise. Your facility validates your skills and decides whether these hours count toward annual in-service.
The four courses add up to about 14.5 hours and cover both topics the rule names: dementia management and abuse prevention. Whether the hours count is your facility’s decision, and some states only accept hours from approved providers.
The Development Series is a career pathway with an ethics course, a cumulative final exam and a program certificate. The Annual In-Service Pack is for yearly required training: it adds the abuse prevention course and gives you an hours log, with a certificate for each course.
