Online Learning – Compliance
How do I know if the training is compliance and mandatory?
You will receive a communication from the County agency administering the training announcing that the class is mandatory.
What are the guidelines for registering?
Each compliance training module will have a specific target audience identified in the course description within Learner Home in HRMS. You will be automatically enrolled and notified.
For compliance training, you will be automatically enrolled into the class and no action is required on your part. You will receive “Waiting for Selections” and “Confirmed” emails once the registration is complete. Once confirmation is received, go to Learner Home in HRMS to view the class you have been enrolled in. Click the play button to play the module.
Compliance courses are mandatory to comply with various regulations, depending on the topic, and to ensure all employees have received proper training. All mandatory classes will be identified with an asterisk (*) beside the course name.
Will the course hours be added to my learning history? How are hours calculated?
Once you move your course to learning history, you will see the completed course there and will have completed your requirement. No hours will be credited to your learning history.
Can I take these online learning options during or outside of my normal work hours?
Compliance courses can only be completed at work.
