Getting Started with Your Online Training
As an employee or volunteer, you have access to The Redwoods Institute—an online learning platform featuring safety trainings designed for our programs. You are required to take two courses: Child Sexual Abuse Prevention and Managing Your Risk of Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens. These trainings are required and must be completed within 24 hours from when the job offer email was sent to you. This site is not mobile friendly so the courses MUST be done on a computer and not on a phone. Read ALL of the below information before you begin.
Each course takes about an hour to complete. You do not have to complete in one sitting as the system should save your progress. Make sure to write down your login information if you will need to log back in.
The below instructions will walk you through the steps needed to set up a new account and how to take the courses. If you have an existing account, you can login with your email address at RedwoodsInstitute.com.
