# How many hours of training direct support professionals need, state by state > The register tracks direct support workforce training requirements for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with federal obligations listed separately. No release has been published yet, so no state value can be cited from it: every jurisdiction below is shown with its research status rather than a requirement.

Linked titles open the requirement with its cited source passage. ## Questions about minimum training durations **How many states have a published minimum training duration for direct support professionals?** No release has been published yet, so the answer cannot be cited from this register. The page fills in automatically when reviewed research is published. **What minimum training durations have states published?** No release has been published yet, so the answer cannot be cited from this register. The page fills in automatically when reviewed research is published. **Why does a state show "not specified in source" or "unknown"?** A published requirement can be real and still not state a minimum training duration. "Not specified in source" means reviewers confirmed the cited document is silent on it; "unknown" means the research has not resolved it yet. Neither is reported as a number, and neither means the state has no rule. **Where do the values come from?** Every value is entered from a cited passage in an official government document (.gov), reviewed by a human before publication, and shown here exactly as published in the current release. The source, section, and retrieval date are listed on each requirement page. ## Related pages - [National map of research coverage](https://ltssmatrix.com/map) - [Search every published requirement by state, service, role, setting, or topic](https://ltssmatrix.com/explore) - [Compare states side by side](https://ltssmatrix.com/compare) - [Deterministic reports with numerators and denominators](https://ltssmatrix.com/reports) - [Methodology and calculation rules](https://ltssmatrix.com/methodology) --- No published release yet.
