FAQs
How do I receive the attendance verification?
Once your students register via the JotForm link we provide to you, we take care of the rest. We will send them a pre-test via email. AFTER they complete the training we will send them a post-test and an evaluation. They must complete all three forms to complete the training. Once they have done this we will generate a certificate of completion for the student that is emailed to them. If requested, we can also email a list of students who completed the training to each faculty member.
When should I have the students register?
Students need to register at least 2 hours prior to the training date in order to have time to complete the pre-test. But don’t delay! Space is limited so have students secure their spots ASAP.
