General
What is Sexual Harassment?
Sexual harassment is the most common type of workplace harassment. Recent statistics show that more than half of all workers (54%) have experienced some form of sexual harassment in the workplace. Because of its prevalence and damaging affects to an organization's productivity, morale, and culture, employers must try and actively prevent and eliminate sexual harassment in their organization.
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines sexual harassment as follows:
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when such conduct:
- Explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment
- Unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance
- Creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment
What are the laws regarding sexual harassment and who needs to comply?
Workplace harassment, which includes sexual harassment, is prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. The law applies to federal, state, and local employers and governs all employment actions. Laws regarding workplace harassment are enforced by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
In addition, six states (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, and New York) have their own state laws specifically addressing sexual harassment:
- California - AB 1825, AB 2053, SB 396, SB 1300, and SB 1343
- Connecticut - Connecticut Human Rights and Opportunity Act, Time's Up Act
- Delaware - HB 360
- Illinois - SB 0075 Illinois Human Rights Act, Work Transparency Act
- Maine - Maine Employment Laws Revised Statute, Title 26, Section 807
- New York - New York Human Rights Law § 296.1, New York City Stop Sexual Harassment Act
Who needs to take sexual harassment training?
The first step in preventing and eliminating sexual harassment involves educating all members of the workforce on sexual harassment and acceptable behaviors which includes employees, contractors, volunteers, etc. Managers and supervisors must be given additional specialized training on how to properly handle cases of sexual harassment.
Which course should I select?
We offer two courses: an employee version and a manager version. The employee version is 1 hour long and the manager version is 2 hours long. The manager version includes all the material from the employee version but includes an additional hour on how to handle sexual harassment cases and real world case studies to learn how to handle them.
Does your course meet the sexual harassment requirements?
Yes our course meets and exceeds the requirements for sexual harassment training. Our training is valid for all 50 states and also meets the specific state requirements of California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, and New York. NOTE: CT employees will need to take the 2 hour supervisor version to satisfy the 2 hour CT training requirement for all employees. By having one version that covers all states, it greatly simplifies the training process.
What do I need to take the training?
All you need is a computer with an internet connection and web browser.
Do I have to do the training in one sitting?
No you can take the training at your own pace and in multiple sessions. You do want to set aside 15 minutes when it is time to take the final exam however so that you can have maximum concentration.
If I don't pass the final exam, can I take the test again? And is there a charge for taking the final exam again?
You can take the final exam as many times as you need to pass. This course is mainly about comprehension. There is no charge for taking the final exam multiple times. You can also take the exam again to try and get a higher score if you so desire.
Can I have multiple people view the training?
No. Only if you have purchased organizational training. Our individual training is licensed to a single individual only.
Can I take the training immediately after signing up?
Yes. You create a username and password as part of the sign up process, so you can use that username/password immediately after payment to login and start your training.
Certificate
How and when will I receive my certificate of completion?
After successfully completing the final exam, you will be asked to enter your name on the certificate and it will generate an adobe acrobat PDF certificate and wallet card for you along with transcript scores immediately online.
What format is the certificate and how can I view and print it?
Your certificate of completion is an adobe acrobat PDF file. All you need to view and print the certificate is the free adobe acrobat reader. If you don't have the adobe reader software installed on your computer, you can download it free from adobe's website at:
How long is the certificate good for?

What does your certificate look like?
Can I put my company name on the certificate?
Yes you can enter your desired company name on the registration page and it will put your company on every certificate generated. It is an optional setting so if you don’t want a company name on the certificate then just leave that blank.
Pricing
What is the cost of individual training?
$29.99 per course.
Do you offer organizational training and group discounts?
We offer an organizational training option for training multiple individuals (see next section) and also group discounts starting at 10 seats and above. To signup for an organizational account, simply add the desired number of seats to your shopping cart and then checkout. The account will then be enabled for that number of licenses. If you need to add licenses in the future, you can do so using the Add More Licenses link when you login to your admin dashboard.
How does the pricing work if we buy a mix of employee and manager trainings?
To keep things simple for you we provide one price for both versions and all you have to worry about is the number of seats. For each set you can choose either employee or manager that way. That greatly simplifies rollout as you can send out a generic set of instructions and the system will prompt each person for which version is most appropriate. We provide a discount based on the total number of seats purchased regardless of whether they are the employee or manager version.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Yes we do. Your pricing is based on the initial number of total seats you purchase (regardless of whether it is the employee or manager versions):
| Qty of Training Seats | Pricing Per Seat |
|---|---|
| 1 - 9 | $29.99 |
| 10-24 | $24.99 |
| 25 - 49 | $23.99 |
| 50 - 99 | $22.99 |
| 100 - 200 | $19.99 |
| 200+ | Get Custom Quote |
Price Per Seat:

If I purchase seats after my intial purchase do I still get a volume discount?
Your future pricing is based on your intial purchase. So if you bought 25 seats, your pricing would be $23.99 for those 25 seats and also for any future seats you purchased. After that the pricing will continue to drop each time you hit a pricing tier.
Organizational Training
Do you offer training that an organization can use to train its employees?
Yes we do.
Who is the organizational training for?
Organizational training is for employers/groups that need to train their employees. It provides a single shared login that all employees can login to as well as potential group pricing discounts.
How does organizational training work?
Our organizational training option includes a shared multi-user account setup. It involves zero administration as it does not require you to setup user names and passwords. Once your account is setup, everyone logs in using the same username/password. They take the training and once they are complete, each individual takes the final exam. On successfully passing the final exam, each individual enters their name on their certificate and gets a generated pdf certificate immediately for them to save or print off. A copy of that certificate with transcript scores are automatically emailed to the administrator's email address on the account.
So all you have to do is give everyone the username/password, let them take the training, and sit back and get an email copy as everyone finishes the training. It couldn't be easier.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Yes we do. Your pricing is based on the initial number of total seats you purchase (regardless of whether it is the employee or manager versions):
| Qty of Training Seats | Pricing Per Seat |
|---|---|
| 1 - 9 | $29.99 |
| 10-24 | $24.99 |
| 25 - 49 | $23.99 |

If you need to add licenses in the future, you can do so using the Add More Licenses link when you login to your admin dashboard.
Is there any charge for keeping the training account active?
No we only charge on a pay per use basis. If you do not use it, you do not pay anything.
How do you handle billing beyond the initial seats purchased?
If you need to add licenses in the future, you can do so using the Add More Licenses link when you login to your admin dashboard.
