1. You must start the application process with OSBELTCA as soon as possible, before you start your training. Adult Day Care Administrators are relatively “rare” so the classes are very small, but we don’t even schedule it until we see that we actually have applicants who wish to become Adult Day Care Administrators. There is a fee of $550 paid online through our portal which includes:
a. the application fee($100 ).
b. Study materials ($50) – mailed to you upon receipt of your application
c. Class fee (which includes a review preparing you for the exam) ($300)
d. State Standards Exam fee ($100)
NOTE: OSBELTCA staff will not have visibility of your application until you have paid the application fee.
2. You must finish your application with OSBELTCA by uploading the required documentation (by this time, you should have uploaded all other documents required for the application such as a passport type photo, affidavit of citizenship, resume’ and letters of recommendation…). Again, OSBELTCA staff (primarily Ginger Dean works with RC and RC/AL applications…she is a key person to you at OSBELTCA) will not have visibility of this application until you have paid the application fee. You will not be permitted to attend training and/or sit for the exam until your application is complete.
3. You must complete training through OSBELTCA. It is a one day course that culminates with the administering of the state standards exam.
4. You must take and pass the State Standards Exam for Adult Day Care Administrators. 75% is the minimum passing score. It is a multiple choice test (and it’s not particularly easy, especially if you have not prepared for it properly).
a. The exam has 50 questions.
b. You will be allowed 45 minutes to take the exam (they only give 60 minutes for the Nursing Home Administrator exam which is 100 questions…45 minutes should be more than sufficient if you’re prepared for it).
