There is a Standar Kompetensi Lulusan (Competency Standard) for Course & Training of Health Care Workers based on the Indonesian Qualification Framework detailing the competency expected of care workers (Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini Non-Formal dan Informal Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia, 2014).

Education and training programmes are often provided by the institutions. For example, some LTC service providers that collaborate with ALZI seek training for their future employers (Alzheimer’s Indonesia, 2019a). The Radjiman Wediodiningrat Lawang Psychiatric Hospital also provides caregivers training (Hukormas Rumah Sakit Jiwa Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat, 2017). There is no information on how training assessments are done.

Mutiara Kasih is an example of a training institution for care workers. They provide training and conduct assessments afterwards, in which the participants will receive a certificate from Lembaga Sertifikasi Kompetensi Pekarya Kesehatan (Health Workers Competency Certification Institute) (Mutiara Kasih, n.d.).
