FAQ
Common questions
Can I run code of conduct 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 U.S. Sentencing Guidelines §8B2.1(b)(4) or ask your own counsel.
How often is this training needed?
At hire + annually with attestation.
Who needs this training?
All employees, contractors with system access; variant: people managers (adds "when someone reports to you").
What records should I keep?
Record completion in your own LMS or record system, so you can show who finished the course and when. Check the retention period that applies to you in U.S. Sentencing Guidelines §8B2.1(b)(4).
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.
