What You Need to Know
The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) oversees training requirements for individuals participating in Personal Care Assistance (PCA) and Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) programs. As part of these requirements, certain workers and providers must complete and pass a DHS-administered test at no cost.
For full program details and requirements, refer to the official PCA/CFSS Training Program page.
Before taking the test, completing the free DHS-provided PCA/CFSS training is recommended to better understand expectations and prepare for the assessment.
