Relevant Professional Learning, LLC was born out of a vision to make healthcare education accessible, interactive, and fully aligned with real-world regulatory requirements. Our founder, Shanell Sykes, MSN, RN, has been a registered nurse for over 15 years with experience in healthcare leadership, staff development, and compliance. While working in both hospital and long-term care settings, Shanell saw a clear gap: too many training programs focused on theory, while healthcare professionals were left struggling with the practical skills and regulatory knowledge needed to succeed in Maryland’s assisted living environment.
Driven by passion
Our mission is to close that gap. We are dedicated to providing high-quality, interactive, and regulatory-compliant training programs that empower healthcare professionals to thrive. Our focus is on delivering practical skills, accessible learning formats, and compliance-driven resources so that educators can teach with confidence, and learners can step into their roles fully prepared. By blending real-world case studies, compliance checklists, mock audits, and interactive instruction, we ensure that every student leaves our courses not only certified, but capable of leading, managing, and providing safe, dignified care in assisted living settings.
Focused on clients and Quality
Relevant Professional Learning stands apart from other professional development providers because we don’t just teach what the regulations say—we show you how to apply them in real-world settings. Our programs are built with both compliance and practicality in mind, so educators and healthcare professionals walk away not only with certifications, but with the confidence and tools to excel in their roles.
