Train the Trainer Course:

If you are a trainer or trainer candidate taking the Train the Trainer course, you can continue to access the course here.

  • Do not make any adjustments for Adobe Flash to view the webcasts or access the exams. Adobe Flash was discontinued on December 31, 2020.
    • You are able to view all Train the Trainer course webcasts without the use of Adobe Flash.
    • You are now able to take the Part 1 and Part 3 portions of the Written Documentation Exam without the use of Adobe Flash.

Whether you started the Train the Trainer course before the Adobe Flash maintenance was completed on December 28, 2020 or whether you start the Train the Trainer course now, you do not need Adobe Flash.

*Please Note: When you have successfully completed your exams, if your final scores do not calculate or do not appear, you must contact the Medication Administration Help Desk in order to be enrolled in a virtual face-to-face class.

Student Course (to Pass Medications):

The student course is currently undergoing required maintenance on the webcasts and the exams to ensure that they will work properly because of the discontinuation of Adobe Flash. This maintenance will impact the webcasts and the exams.
