About Online Trainings

What to Expect
Online trainings have the same registration and payment requirements as in person trainings. Each online training is limited to 40 participants. Please register for an online training ONLY if you intend to complete the entire training.
How online trainings are organized
- Training materials are organized into modules called Learning Paths, based on the main objectives of the training.
- Each Learning Path involves specific requirements, which may include online readings, video and audio clips, narrated PowerPoint slides, assignments, quizzes, surveys, and discussion boards.
- Each training includes a pre- and post-test. In order to receive a Certificate of Completion, you must complete all required assignments and pass the post-test.
- All trainings also include an evaluation for you to give feedback to the Training System about how it went.
Time Commitment and Completion Policies
- The online training is intended to be a similar investment of time as a face-to-face training, and you will recieve a corresponding number of 'contact hours' for the training as you would if it was in person.
- Be advised an online training requires dedicated time and attention for work that must be submitted in order to successfully complete the online training. Due to the time sensitivity and attention needed an online training is more intensive than an in-person training. Each online training will have the number of hours it will take to complete the training listed on the registration page. Plan to spend at least that much time completing the course, Note: participants who do not complete the pre-test by the 3rd day of training will be dropped from the course.
- Any Core Team Member who does not complete 2 online trainings will need to pay full price if they register for another online training. Only after paying for, and completing this training, will you be eligible to attend future online trainings at no cost.
- Non-Core Team Members - payment must be made 3 business days before the online training or you will be dropped from the registration list. Participants who do not complete the course in the designated time will not be issued a refund.
