This course is a self-study, online course. Throughout each module you will find major learning objectives that are intended for you to master. The information in the course should help you to meet the objective.

Quizzes

In addition, a quiz is included at the end of each module or segment. The questions do not cover each facet of the module, but will give the learner an indication of his/her level of knowledge and understanding of the content. The quiz behind each module/segment must be passed by at least 80% before you can move ahead to the next module.

All of the questions come directly from this course or from the rules. Only some laws and rules are spelled out in this curriculum. When instructed to do so, you should follow the link to a specific section of the statutes or rules. It is a good idea to print out all of the laws and rules for future reference.

Course Completion Quiz

There is a comprehensive quiz at the end of this course. You must pass this with a score of at least 80%. Upon successful completion of the Modules 1 thru 5 quizzes and the Course Completion quiz, you will be able to print a Certificate of Completion from IHCA.

A copy of the Certificate of Completion needs to be submitted to the Division of Occupational & Professional Licenses.  Once all licensure requirements have been completed, you will then be allowed to take one of the licensure exams.

Licensure Exams

There are presently two exams to choose from, the Headmasters or the NAB exam.
You do NOT need to take both.

We encourage all students to take the Headmasters exam. Not only is the cost of the Headmasters exam more affordable than the NAB, its online format is very similar to the online format of the Residential Care Administrator course.
