From Administrator to Expert:

Why 2026 is the Year to Earn Your CDP®

In the world of California long-term care, there is a big difference between holding a license and holding authority.

We all understand that the 40-hour renewal cycle can sometimes seem like just going through the motions. For professionals aiming to lead rather than merely manage, selecting the right training is crucial. This year, we’re excited to share that thanks to a new partnership between Community Training Connection (CTC) and the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP), there’s now a wonderful opportunity for you to further your professional journey.

Every administrator has CEUs. Not every administrator is a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP®).

By attending our Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care (ADDC) Seminar this March, you aren’t just sitting through 7 hours of CCLD-approved training, you are fulfilling the necessary prerequisite for the nation’s most recognized dementia certification.

Why pursue the CDP® credential?

• Professional Validation: It moves you beyond “State Compliant” to “Nationally Certified.” It’s a title that stays with you, no matter where your career takes you.
• Mastery of the Craft: The ADDC curriculum, recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association®, provides the clinical and ethical depth that standard CEU classes often miss.
• The “Expert” Label: Whether you are speaking with doctors, families, or state evaluators, having “CDP” after your name changes how your expertise is perceived.
