Short lessons with real workplace scenarios, not walls of text.

  • 9 lessons, about 55 minutes
  • 4 video slots (you add the videos)
  • Flashcards, accordion, sorting activity, step-by-step and quizzes
  • 12-question final check, 80% to pass

Live session deck

An AhaSlides presentation to run after the course, in person or online.

  • 11 slides
  • Quiz, poll, word cloud, open-ended slides
  • A closing slide for your contacts

Two surveys

Find out what landed, and whether people use it on the job.

Your part: what a template can't do for you

  • Live Q&A: learners must be able to ask a qualified trainer questions while they train. Run the live deck, or give a phone or chat line that's answered during the course. Email answered later doesn't count.
  • Language: deliver it in a language and vocabulary your people understand.
  • Your workplace details: fill in the 15 highlighted fields so the course describes your own policies, contacts and locations.
  • Records: record completion in your own LMS or record system. Template note: records kept 3 years.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I run bloodborne pathogens - Healthcare training online?

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.

How often is this training needed?

At initial assignment + annually + when tasks/procedures change; training records kept 3 years.

Who needs this training?

Clinical and support staff in hospitals, clinics, dental offices, labs, EMS, long-term care (nurses, phlebotomists, techs, EVS/housekeeping, sterile processing).

What records should I keep?

Record completion in your own LMS or record system, so you can show who finished the course and when. From the template notes: records kept 3 years.

Can I edit the content?

Yes, everything. Change the wording, swap scenarios for ones from your workplace, add your logo, or remove parts that don't apply. Keep anything your own law requires you to cover.
