What is the minimum amount of training hours an AIT must complete?

The minimum amount of training hours that an Administrator in Training (AIT) must complete is 1040 hours. This requirement is established to ensure that AITs gain substantial hands-on experience and knowledge necessary for effective facility management. The training hours are designed to cover various critical areas including regulatory compliance, staff management, financial operations, and quality assurance.

1040 hours strikes a balance, providing enough time for AITs to immerse themselves in the day-to-day operations of a nursing facility while allowing for the completion of their training within a reasonable period. This ensures that when they transition into a full administrative role, they possess the competence and confidence needed to maintain high standards of care and management practices in their facilities.
