While account registration and access to the Mandated Reporter Training library is free, many of our courses have a fee with producing, storing and the interoperability of the training certificate.
Purchasing the certificate is optional, but there may be professional requirements from your employer, organization or professional industry.
Below are some of the most common reasons you may need a Mandated Reporter Training certificate.
Proof of Completion
Many organizations require the certificate as the tangible proof that you've completed the specific training and can demonstrate understanding for the content presented. The certificate is also a way to validate the details of the specific training you completed, the length, and the date on which you completed the training.
Our certificates contain QR codes, which enable users in possession of your certificate to confirm its validity. When scanned, our platform with return the learner's name, the training name, the unique certificate number, a continuing education authority and credits earner (if applicable), and the date of completion.
The validatable certificate is a more secure way for organizations to verify that you completed the training, and more easily identify those that cheat or submit stolen/fake completions.
Continuing Education or Licensing
Some industries require ongoing education or renewal certifications to keep up with new guidance or meet regulatory requirements. The laws surrounding Mandated Reporters and the processes for supporting families and reporting abuse continues to evolve. Mandated Reporter Training is a great option for earning Continuing Education (CE) credits for your professional industry.
Look for the CE checkmark next to your training to view the Continuing Education credits offered by issuing authority. We recommend taking this training every 1-2 years (depending on your industry) to stay up to date with the latest guidance.
