Our Training

Paid Comprehensive Training

Opal Services provides comprehensive training. This starts with our New Employee Orientation. Individual training sessions allow employees of all skill levels and backgrounds to train at their own pace and ask questions throughout the process. This thorough training includes a comprehensive review of:

  • The Vulnerable Adult Law
  • Confidentiality
  • Defensive Driving
  • OSHA/AWAIR
  • Back Safety
  • Opal-Specific Policies

Once these core areas are covered, you will go to the facility for the next phase of the orientation process.
