Training scope
Pennsylvania DHS's published IBHS training approval process lists trainings offered by a BACB Authorized Continuing Education (ACE) provider as already considered approved by the Department. Special Learning is a BACB ACE provider (OP-14-2437). Match these recordings’ documented clock hours and topics to your staff training plan; a CE label alone does not establish IBHS clock hours or complete topic coverage. First aid and mandated-reporting training are separate.
Price, access and trial
The current store price is $99 for 6 months of access.
A free 7-day trial is available. Choose the trial option on the product page and sign in when prompted. CE credit requires purchase.
