Please review information at the Administrator University link for class start date.  

Qualifications (currently certification, not yet licensure) for other administrator types (Assisted Living, Residential Care and Adult Day Care) are currently defined in the applicable OSDH Rules and Statutes for those facility types and will remain in effect on November 1, 2011, when these administrator types come under the purview of this Board.  However, the Board's Rules are being addressed and will likely be changed to licensure when those rules have been promulgated and are in effect.
