Provider Training

The Minnesota Department of Human Services requires that licensed providers receive a minimum of 8 hours of
trainings per year. To date, I have completed 220 hours of training. A complete portfolio with certificates from workshops
is available for review upon request. Below I have listed a few of the training topics. A complete portfolio of training
records is available during an interview. Apple Tree assistants also have exceeded the minimum of 8 hours per year.
