Online Training

Overview Each module contains a registration feature so that your record of training is emailed to us. Please print your training record when instructed to in the module, and provide a copy to your supervisor.

Each module also contains an evaluation feature. We rely heavily on these evaluations to determine whether to add more modules, or change existing modules. Please take a few minutes to complete an evaluation for each module to help us provide you with a better training product.

Viewing Instructions You need use a computer loaded with a version 4.0 or better internet browser. You may need to download a special browser plugin to view the modules. (These are all available for free.) Consult the viewing instructions if the modules don't look right, or "hang" instead of running.

Also, these modules were designed to be used on campus. We don't recommend accessing the modules over a modem, because they will load too slowly.
