The PSC Renewal Center is temporarily down on Thursday and Friday (February 5 and 6) as AASC moves to another system. We apologize if this creates any inconvenience for you. The PSC Renewal Center should be back up and running by early next week.

About the PSC Program

The Professional Service Coordinator Program (PSC) is a unique online professional development opportunity specifically designed for service coordinators. It is offered through a collaboration between AASC and The Ohio State University's College of Medicine, Office of Geriatrics and Gerontology. As partners, we are dedicated to furthering the educational development and careers of service coordinators to ensure the most responsive services are provided to older adults, families and persons with disabilities residing in service-enhanced, affordable housing environments.

The PSC program is available to anyone interested in education and professional development in the field of service coordination. The program consists of 12 core modules on the topics of communication, diversity, motivational interviewing and more.

All modules are web-based, allowing participants to complete the training from anywhere at any time.

Through the PSC program, you have the option of completing the full program requirements to earn the designation of Professional Service Coordinator, or you can complete individual modules to earn training contact hours.

Designation Requirements

To earn the Professional Service Coordinator designation, individuals must:

• Step One: Complete the six-part Service Coordinator Foundations series before registering for the PSC modules. This training is a pre-requisite to the PSC program. 
• Step Two: Complete the 12 core PSC Modules within two years of the registration date in the PSC Program.
• Step Three: Sit for the Comprehensive Exam within one year after completing the last required module.

Prior to taking the exam, candidates must:

• Provide proof of a minimum of two years of experience as a service coordinator; or two years equivalent work in social services or a related health care field on behalf of older adults and/or families; or two years property management experience with responsibility for assisting residents with service acquisition; or in any field with supervisory and/or customer service experience. Candidates must submit a resume and documentation of qualifying experience.
• Exam candidates who hold an Associate's, Bachelor’s or other advanced degree in service coordination or a related healthcare field may count that degree as two years of employment and may sit for the Comprehensive Exam after providing proof of their degree (transcript, copy of diploma, letter from institution). Note: Participants must still take the 12 core PSC Modules and the pre-requisite Service Coordinator Foundations series.
• Pay the Comprehensive Exam Fee

In order to maintain the PSC designation, you must meet the renewal criteria every three years. Effective January 1, 2023, all PSC continuing education required for renewal must come from either AASC or The Ohio State University's College of Medicine, Office of Geriatrics and Gerontology. No other training courses will be accepted for renewal of your PSC designation.
