Sometimes a home health aide is required to attend a training program. Not all HHA training programs are free. However, there are ways to receive free HHA Training if you live in Alabama. In most cases you can approach a hospice agency for a job which we will get into more details below, but basically if you are willing to work for them, they will pay for your training requirements.
Employer
An HHA should talk to their current employer if they are required to attend a training course for which there is a fee. Employers will often cover the cost of the training as long as an individual agrees to then work for that employer for a specific amount of time. Sometimes an individual who is not currently working for a home health agency can apply for a position as an HHA and ask that the employer pay for any required training if hired. If an individual has already paid to receive training to start a career as a HHA, they can ask their new employer to reimburse them for the fees they paid out of pocket.
Health Companies
Sometimes a health related company such as a health insurance corporation, will offer training programs for individuals looking to start an entry-level career in the healthcare industry. Individuals can apply to be accepted to a training program. Sometimes these training programs are free for qualified individuals. One such training program might very well be a program for home health aide training.
Note: The following is a list of a few Hospice agencies in Alabama where you could get more information on how to start working as a Home Health Aide and make sure to ask them if they provide free HHA training if you work for them.
