Our courses are broken into three categories: Bathroom & Kitchen, Hardware and General Knowledge. Each category contains several courses that correspond with DPHA's Education Manuals. In this first phase of DPHA University, you will find each of the 22 manuals, followed by the course assessment. At the completion of category, you will receive a certificate. Once all categories and courses are completed, you will receive a graduate badge that will also be added to your profile on DPHA.net. Phase two, which is expected to roll out in early 2023, the manuals will be broken into micro-learning modules with assessments at the end of each module.
Once you have completed all the courses in each category above, you may complete the attestation course to receive your certificate. Please note that DPHA staff will be confirming that all courses have been successfully passed.
