Let Dawn Benninghove, founder of Companion Extraordinaire, take you on a tour of the Training Center and introduce you to our Home Care Heroes.

Meet Ann Pryer, RN and Staff Development Coordinator. Learn about our existing and upcoming classes and changes in hybrid learning structure that streamline your success.

Our courses are approved by the Department of Medical Assistance Services and held in a friendly, professional
classroom setting. Our small class sizes ensure one-on-one interaction with your instructor. Classes are geared for
real-time demonstration and hands-on role-playing which we have found beneficial for quick comprehension and
long-term retention for industry professionals.
