NCSLA
In- Person Administrator in Training (AIT)
NCSLA is proud to be a provider of the Administrator Certification Program, approved by the North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation. The 120-hour program includes 16 hours of classroom instruction, 4–6 hours of independent study, and a minimum of 100 hours working with an approved AIT preceptor at a licensed facility. The NCSLA program is designed to give the serious candidate comprehensive knowledge of the assisted living industry and a practical understanding of what it takes to be a successful administrator. An added quality of our program is a review of Medicaid operational procedures and systems to assist new administrators working in communities that serve residents approved for Medicaid benefits.
What truly sets our program apart is our team of instructors. Each instructor brings years of real-world operational experience in assisted living and family care homes—they are active owners and operators who understand the daily responsibilities and challenges of running high-quality care environments. Their hands-on expertise ensures that every lesson is grounded in practical application, giving candidates the insight and confidence needed to excel as future administrators.
