Training Video Options

There are two methods for you to obtain/view the Mandated Reporter training video.

If you will be presenting at a location where you have a high-speed Internet connection then you can view the training video via the Internet. (Directions are available for this option.)
You can also download a copy of the training video if you will be presenting at a location that doesn't have an Internet connection or you aren't sure about the reliability/speed of the connection. In either case, you will want to download a copy of the video and then burn it to a CD or bring it with on a laptop. If you are relying upon a CD, make a couple of copies in case the CD fails.
Note: There are directions that you may need for downloading and playing this video.
