If you’ve decided that you want to work with older adults and are considering obtaining your Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) certificate, you are headed in the right direction! Getting certified is a great way to learn about your field and get specialized knowledge so you can be a highly valued employee. Plus, having a certificate in a related field will always increase your chances of getting hired.
RCFE Classes
The first thing you’ll need to decide is how to take your rcfe classes. You can take classes online or at in-person classes. There are pros and cons to both options, so you’ll really just want to determine what works best for you.
Benefits of Online Classes
Flexible Schedule: So long as you can get online and do your work you can take classes whenever you are available.
More Affordable: Online classes are generally more affordable than classes offered in traditional classrooms because there are no facility related overhead charges.
No Commute: Rather than travel across town you can travel across the room to log into your computer.
Drawbacks to Online Classes
Self Sufficiency: In order to be successful at online learning you will need to be self-sufficient. There’s a greater need for personal responsibility.
No Live Interactions
Sometimes it just helps to be in a classroom so you can ask questions in real time and see everyone’s reactions and facial cues. Not everyone can learn online, some people are more experiential learners.
