Please keep in mind the following considerations as you start the training modules:

  • You cannot save your progress in these modules. Plan on setting aside 20-30 minutes to complete each module.
  • In most of the modules, you will be asked to complete a short survey. Please make sure you complete each survey — this is our way of knowing that you’ve completed each section of the training.
