Training Expectations & Objectives 

HMIS data input is not your average data entry. It has a few very different aspects that make it much more challenging than one would expect. This new user training has between 6 to 8 hours of videos, multiple documents to review, and quizzes.  

The student is expected to learn how to properly input and update client data in our HMIS so that they will later be able to report to funders, HUD, in the multitude and ever-changing ways that they require it. Final testing involves the students inputting practice clients into a mock Servicepoint system. 

To complete this training, The student will need: 

  • A computer  

  • Internet Access 

  • 6 to 8 hours to get through the material 

  • A week or two to successfully complete their test cases 

  • Training Accounts are recycled after 30 days unless the student has asked for more time 

  • Remember, though the class is self-paced, humans on our training team need time to check students work and respond. This can take 3 business days. 

  • User Agreement Paperwork must also be completed to finish 

  • Questions should go to support@icalliances.org
