2026 Education

Life Safety Education

We’re excited to share some big news about our annual Life Safety Code training! For 2026, we’ve reimagined and expanded the program to create a brand-new learning experience. The CORE Certificate Program, designed specifically for facility and environmental services leaders as well as administrators in long-term care.

CORE (Compliance. Operations. Readiness. Education.) builds on the foundation of our previous Life Safety Code bootcamps, but with updated content, practical approaches to learning, broader leadership focus, and recognition for your professional growth.

Your facilities and EVS teams are essential to the success of every long-term care community; ensuring safety, compliance, and comfort for residents and staff every day. From maintaining regulatory readiness to supporting infection control and quality outcomes, your work touches every corner of your organization. The CORE Certificate Program is designed to strengthen those critical skills and celebrate the expertise that keeps your communities running safely and smoothly.

Here’s what’s new:

• Comprehensive content: covering life safety code, survey readiness, disaster preparedness, and operational leadership.
• Certificate of Completion: participants who complete the program will earn the LeadingAge Indiana CORE Certificate, recognizing their expertise and commitment to excellence.
• New timing: the CORE program will be held during our Spring Conference, offering you the chance to also attend keynote session, networking events, and the trade show.

This two-day event is ideal for both new and seasoned facility and EVS leaders who want to stay current on compliance, safety, and leadership best practices in long-term care.

Additional Notes:

Beginning in 2026, LeadingAge Indiana will offer two signature training experiences on an alternating-year schedule:

• Even Year: CORE: Compliance, Operations, Readiness, Education Certificate Program
• Odd Year: Life Safety Code Bootcamp

This rotation allows us to dive deeper into essential Life Safety and operational topics while offering fresh content every year. It also helps member organizations plan professional development in advance and ensures that maintenance, EVS, and facilities teams have ongoing opportunities for growth.
