Along with new and updated courses released regularly, our training solution offers features that simplify your organization’s training, like course tracking, policy management, custom course creation, and more.

New/Updated Courses

  • ADA Compliance in Business
    The American Disabilities Act provides people with disabilities with equal employment opportunity. In business, compliance can be complex and be challenging at times. This course is designed to provide leaders, managers and governmental staff with the knowledge and skills of ADA compliance. It is imperative to meet the proper protocols within an organization to effectively provide opportunities for all employees, but special attention should be paid to those with disabilities.
  • Advanced Defensive Driving Techniques
    Defined simply, defensive driving is driving proactively to ensure the safety of yourself and others. The basic elements of defensive driving require that you make good decisions. However, some circumstances require drivers to have additional knowledge and training to inform their decisions. Advanced defensive driving means being prepared to drive safely in unexpected circumstances and challenging environments. Advanced defensive driving requires being fully informed about potential hazards and knowing the proper techniques for handling them. This course will cover the techniques for safely driving in severe weather as well as how to share the road with pedestrians and various vehicle types. Additionally, you will learn how to adjust your driving style to account for different road conditions.
  • Defensive Driving Basics
    This course will dive into the basics of defensive driving, including its definition, purpose, and importance, as well as the factors that play an important role from the driver’s perspective. We will also discuss the equipment and judgment necessary for driving safely, as well as review the types of impairment that should be avoided to increase driver safety.
  • Food Service Safety in Schools
    The CDC estimates that each year 48 million people get sick from a foodborne illness, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die. As educators, you are responsible for the well-being of your students, and this includes monitoring the safety of the foods they eat at school. This course will examine different ways your school can promote a culture of food safety as well as build relationships with everyone who has a stake in a child’s health in the school community.
  • Interviewing Skills for Managers
    This course is designed to provide managers with the knowledge and skills to recruit and onboard the right talent. Behavioral interviewing is a proven hiring technique that will allow you to hire candidates who have the necessary skills to perform at the highest level on a job. This technique has a higher percentage than traditional interviewing processes for predicting the future of job candidates.
