How it Works

Mandated Reporter Training offers a variety of trainings that consist of learning modules followed by an exam module. Profession-specific trainings typically include a “General Training” module plus one or more profession-specific modules. We call these collections of modules a “learning path”. The completion of a learning path results in a certificate of completion.

General Training Module

General Training provides an overview of the definitions, requirements, and protections associated with being a mandated reporter. It is a prerequisite for any profession-specific training.

Profession-Specific Module

The Profession-Specific Training offers additional insight into the duties and responsibilities of a mandated reporter, tailored for your occupation.

Exam Module

At the conclusion of the training, you will take a final exam which will test the information that you have learned during the training.

Certificate of Completion

Upon successful completion of the exam, an interoperable training certificate which validates your completion of training is available. Fees may apply.

Convenient, Instant Certificate of Completion

Complete your training and instantly access your certificate of completion to prove you’ve met your requirements. Print, download, or share your certificate with employers, organizations, and licensing boards. Your certificate is stored on the platform and can be easily authenticated via a QR code, making compliance checks simple, secure, and universally accepted.
