Original DAHMC youth preparation aligned with publicly described MSU IMPART Alliance Direct Care Fundamentals Level 1 topics. This package does not award MSU certification, imply MSU endorsement, or authorize clinical care.

Planning choices

Supplies assume 24 learners in six groups of four. Each Saturday includes two ten-minute breaks: 48 scheduled hours and 44 instructional hours. Starting DAHMC completion criteria are 80% attendance, 75% post-test, 6/8 capstone, and safety review Cleared. The workbook supports up to 100 learner records for one cohort.

No approved DAHMC logo was supplied, so the materials use a DAHMC text wordmark. Set actual dates, staff names, local procedures, and family permissions before delivery. Official MSU training enrollment and certificates remain separate.

Checks performed

Document pages and slide images were rendered for layout review. All 12 decks contain 17 slides with embedded notes. Tracker calculations were exercised with positive and negative gains, zero pre-scores, missing results, duplicate IDs, invalid score entries, incomplete attendance, and zero capstone scores. Formulas were checked in the authoring engine; the files have not been run in desktop Microsoft Excel or PowerPoint.
