Key Features/Benefits

Testing, remediation, and case studies to see if you’re applying policies and regulations correctly.

  • “Test Your Knowledge” exercises to check your understanding at every step.
  • Second-year “refresher” series are available for ongoing refresher education needs.
  • Role-specific case scenarios apply regulations to real-life settings and ask how your would handle a situation. At the end of each scenario, you’ll learn the appropriate way to react to the given situation.
  • Video-based scenarios show the “wrong way” and “right way” to handle a situation, increasing engagement.
  • Design and audio narration offers different ways to navigate through the course so you are guided through interaction, not simple reading.
  • A certificate of completion allows you to prove that employees successfully completed training.
