Announcements

GUEST ACCOUNT REMINDERS:

A PDA LMS 'Guest' Account remains active for 30 days from the date of its creation or last login.
Currently, guest account holders can access one (1)  free and publicly accessible training course, Protective Services Mandatory Abuse Reporting. If your agency requires completion of this training course annually, you must register a new 'Guest' account each year.

  • Click here to self-register a PDA LMS 'guest' account.
  • After successfully completing the Protective Services Mandatory Abuse Reporting training course,  the LMS system automatically awards the user a 'certificate of completion'.
    • We suggest printing/downloading the certificate before logging out of the training portal, as the 'guest' account will automatically deactivate 30 days after its creation or last login.

Notice to Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Staff, Contracted Staff, Volunteers, and Student Interns:
If you are staffed by or provide volunteerism to one of Pennsylvania's 52 Area Agency on Aging (AAA) agencies, you should not self-register/create a PDA LMS 'Guest' account. This includes contracted staff and student interns.
A PDA LMS 'guest' account provides access to one (1) free/publicly accessible training course, Protective Services Mandatory Abuse Reporting. Each AAA has two or more staff members designated as the agency's PDA LMS 'org admin', responsible for establishing PDA LMS training accounts for newly onboarded staff members and volunteers under the agency's PDA LMS 'organizational' hierarchy. Accounts set up by an AAA/agency 'org admin' provide access to all training courses/resources needed for the user's role.

AWARENESS TRAININGS:

*NOTE: PDA LMS 'Guest' account holders can access the Elder Abuse Awareness Training and the Mandatory Abuse Reporting Training Course, which are free courses available to all OAPS/APS mandated reporters.
Staff from Pennsylvania's Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and the Pennsylvania Department of Aging (PDA) have full access to all PDA LMS training courses/resources.
