Reviewers say, "There are a lot of excellent resources provided in this training. If you breeze through it then it could take 1.5 hours but it may take longer to complete. It is clear the intended audience is LHDs but is applicable to other roles." And, "Format translates well through Google Chrome Browser; If setting up a Train Account, it may take 24 hours to verify email; Make sure the training is ''marked complete" in Train to receive credit and Print Certificate to send to Region 2 for CEU."
