ONLINE + CLASSROOM Training Resources

Blended Learning courses (indicated by "ONLINE + CLASSROOM") combine online learning with an in-person skills session where you will practice skills and demonstrate competency. 

Please plan to complete all online modules, including the final online exam, prior to your in-person skills session.

The online modules can be completed on a computer, tablet or mobile device. Technical requirements are provided below.

Please be prepared to provide proof that you completed the online learning using one of the following methods:

1.  Print or take a screenshot of your online course completion record  available at the conclusion of the online course and bring it to the first in-person skill session. It will read “Proceed to Skill Session”.
2. Be prepared to login to the online course on the first in-person skill session to display the completion status that appears above the “Launch Course” button.
