Common questions
Yes. The course, the live deck and both surveys are free. Claiming the template into your AhaSlides account is free too.
The course itself is self-paced and online, and the live deck lets you add a live session. Whether online delivery meets your local rules depends on the law that applies to you, so check 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2) or ask your own counsel. The law flagged for this template expects learners to be able to ask a qualified trainer questions while they train: run the live deck, or give a phone or chat line that is answered during the course. Email answered later doesn't count.
