Registration is now open for DCDP in the VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
All 245D licensed programs are required to have a Designated Coordinator (DC) and Designated Manager (DM). The DC and DM at your agency need to have a clear understanding of the requirements in MN Statutes, chapter 245D and MN Rules, chapter 9544 to ensure your agency’s success! The Designated Coordinator/Manager Development Program (DCDP) is an interactive course designed to help participants gain the knowledge, confidence, and skills necessary to be a successful Designated Coordinator or Manager, especially for Intensive 245D Services.
Who Should Attend?
This program is ideal for managers supporting people in 245D licensed services who have Designated Coordinator or Designated Manager job duties. If you are a person that is expecting to be adding on additional managerial duties, this course may be for you. Attendees will find that having experience providing 245D services will be beneficial to understanding terminology, concepts, and requirements discussed in class.

Have to Say
What Should Participants Expect?
The DCDP course is intended to provide comprehensive training on management duties commonly required in licensed services. Although this course does not waive the education and experience requirements of the Designated Coordinator and Designated Manager in MN Statutes, chapter 245D, it gives the attendees a comprehensive understanding of 245D regulations and how to implement them at your agency.
Participants will receive all course materials as well as sample forms and policies. To demonstrate knowledge gained each day, participants interact with each other through discussion and fun activities!
