GUEST ACCOUNT REMINDERS:

A PDA LMS 'Guest' Account remains active for 30 days from the date of creation or last login.
Currently, guest account holders can access one 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 training course, the LMS system automatically awards you a 'certificate of completion'.
• We suggest printing/downloading your certificate before logging out of your training account.
  

Notice to Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Staff, Contracted Staff, and Volunteers:
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 'guest' account only provides access to the one (1) free/publicly accessible training course highlighted above. Each AAA has two or more staff members designated as a PDA LMS 'org admin' responsible for establishing a "full" PDA LMS training account, for each newly onboarded staff member and volunteer, under the agency's PDA LMS 'organizational' hierarchy. A "full" training account provides "AAA-associated" users access to all training courses/resources needed for their role; a "guest" account does not.
