Each one begins with a knowledge check to provide useful resources before taking the training. To receive continuing education units (CEUs), complete the training module and pass the post-module assessment with a score of at least 80%. To receive the PCNRC training certificate, users must complete all eight modules and pass a comprehensive assessment with a score of at least 80%. Completed modules will be displayed on this page in order to measure progress toward the certificate.
