At Milestone HCQU Northwest, we offer training on a variety of subjects, in a variety of formats. Our training focuses on physical health, behavioral health, safety, and more general topics such as team building, leadership, and assertiveness. Our goal is to help support staff, family members, and individuals get the information they need to help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities live happy, healthy lives.

Our courses are free-of-charge, approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Office of Developmental Programs, and come in a variety of formats, including on-site instructor-led, instructor-led live webinar, home-study, and on-demand webinar. Trainings must be attended in their entirety to receive credit. We cannot give partial credit for trainings.

Weekly Webinars

We know how difficult it can be to find time to fit in all the training you need, especially these days, which is why we are offering a new webinar every month. 

These one-hour webinars will be presented on Thursday, with the exception of Thanksgiving and Christmas week, at 7:30am, 11:00am and 2:00pm.  

Home Study Trainings 

At Milestone HCQU Northwest, we are always on the lookout for new ways to help you get the information you need to help you better serve and support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. To that end, we are now providing short home-study trainings on our most popular topics.

On-Demand Webinars

Our on-demand webinars are edited recordings of previous webinars. If handouts were available for the original training, they are included for your reference.  They can also be downloaded for offline viewing and/or printing.  You must watch the video in its entirety before moving on to the quiz. 

We add new content to our on-demand webinar library regularly.  To see the list of current topics, click here

Since these are pre-recorded webinars, with no way for attendees to ask questions, you will have to pass a short quiz after watching the video to get credit.

Certificates are generated upon successful completion of the course. To complete a training, you must score a minimum of 80% on the test and at least click through each module in the training. Evaluation questions are not mandatory questions (we’d love your feedback!), but the system may not automatically generate your certificate unless you at least click into each module of the training.
