Hotlines & Investigations Course On-Line
The Health Ethics Trust began offering on-line courses for compliance professionals in order to meet the needs of professionals to gain education and certification within limited travel budgets.
Well, travel and education budgets are slimmer than we ever imagined. We understand, and it is our goal to help you meet your education and certification requirements within budget. Thus, we have dramatically reduced the tuition on our Hotlines and Investigations Course. Through July 15, 2009, members can take the course for $195 and non-members $395.
This course provides in-depth education on all aspects of hotline operation and conducting related investigations.
Remember that you can become an individual member through June 30 for only $150!
