Brandi’s Hope Community Services Partners with Essential Learning We are pleased to announce our implementation of a new Internet based staff training and development program; Elevate powered by Essential Learning.  We have developed a customized training website for Brandi’s Hope Community Services that presents and tracks staff training requirements in an accessible and easy to use format.  The website has many great features including

• CEUs – almost all of the 150+ courses available for you to take have continuing education credits; you can print your own CEU certificates for license/certificate renewal
• Web-based learning – courses can be taken anywhere with an internet connection
• Self-paced learning – you can take a course in one sitting or in small chunks
• Email notifications – reminders sent to you when required trainings are due, when you register for live class events or if you are waitlisted for a class and get that spot
• Username/Password – forgotten username and/or password emailed to you and you can even create your own password after logging in
• Learner Resources – Self-help tab for users that allows you to view a short introductory video about your LMS, access the Learner Guide or Learner Manual, review the navigation guide for computer courses offered in the site, view the accreditation guide and a document with links to state board websites, and sign up for the live or recorded Site Overview-Learner webinar.
• Discussion – you can contribute to an online discussion with your co-workers about courses you have taken
• Newsfeed – current articles and information about behavioral health, addiction, health are easily available from your home page
• Announcements – staff announcements and important information are posted on the right side of the home page so check back often
