Alternatively, you may choose to obtain this training from a vendor of your choice, in which case the cost would be agreed between you and the vendor.
For the compliance topics of harassment prevention and health and safety, we do not offer training, but will provide vendor recommendations upon request.
We estimate vendor fees would typically cost $25 to $50 per person, per topic, for this training.
