Accessing the trainings is quick and easy! Please follow these steps to start learning:

There are also a number of micro-learnings- a variety of 3-4 minute videos on topics ranging from LGBTQIA+ travel considerations to natural disasters and hotel safety.
If you need technical assistance with the Digital Learning Platform, please contact us via the Global Hub.
In-Person Learning Opportunities
The Office of Emergency Management offers a number of high-quality, in-person learning opportunities. In particular, we recommend that travelers to high or extreme travel risk destinations consider taking the Stop the Bleed and Citizen's Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) courses.
