What is DirectCourse?
Our Mission is to Enrich, Educate, and Inspire. DirectCourse was born from a recognized need for reliable, standardized training. With the idea that we all want the best for our loved ones, DirectCourse started as a way to give direct support professionals the training they need to deliver the best support for every individual and family. Today, DirectCourse is proud to bring best practices and the highest training standards across sectors with our university partners.
Together with our content authors, national advisory boards, national editorial boards, and partners, we are a team comprised of parents and families of people with disabilities, former direct support professionals, and researchers; so our content is created for the community, by the community.
DirectCourse is a collaboration between Elsevier and the University of Minnesota's Research and Training Center on Community Living.
