Workplace Harassment Prevention Foundations

Open employer training for workplace harassment prevention, with bilingual materials, curriculum, certificate records, and per-learner pricing. No state provider approval is claimed; employers should pair the course with their own policy and state-specific requirements.

Status
Open for enrollment. Self-paced online course with certificate included.

A curriculum structure prepared for both employees and supervisors

The same base curriculum supports every variant, and each state then adds its own rights, timing, and supervisor-duty overlays. That keeps the course family consistent without pretending every state works the same way.
