Training Details

All sessions are live-hosted, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers. All sessions will be presented via Zoom. PRI is unable to award hours for sessions previously attended.

Please note that participants are responsible for ensuring online PRI sessions and the number of hours earned fulfill your system's requirements. Credentialing requirements for online sessions stipulate all participants must (1) individually register, and (2) log into the online session on their own device to received credit/hours for attending. Learners who participate in an online session via shared login will not receive a certificate. Learners are also required to attend sessions in full for credit hours to be awarded.

PRI supports low-risk driving choices. Therefore, we will remove anyone who is driving on a Zoom call hosted by our team. So as to not further distract, we will not chat or verbally ask questions first. You'll be able to join a different Zoom session, from a stationary place, at a later date.
