Certification
After State Certification, an Ombudsman is expected to attend monthly meetings which afford us the opportunity to provide on-going education, and to keep ombudsmen abreast of local, state and national trends and legislation. Each Ombudsman must complete 12 hours of continuing education units per annum to meet California State's annual re-certification requirements.
