This is a 3 hour on-line program that is divided into 6 - 30 minute modules that include audio/visual presentations, quizzes, and printable handouts.  One of the great benefits of the program is that it does not need to be completed in one sitting, and can be completed in intervals at your leisure ( must be within a 30 day timeframe).  Please note that you will not be certified until you have completed the entire program.
