How Does the LEAP Online Series Work? 

It’s an online, self-paced learning experience comprised of 13 individual courses. Each course takes between 60 and 90 minutes to complete.

Courses can be taken independently by topic area or sequentially in the full series. Learners may only be interested in taking one or two courses, completing the full series in order, or navigating based on their interests and needs. All choices are welcome.

Each LEAP Online series course includes opportunities for building knowledge and skills through participant materials and handouts, training videos and post-knowledge checks.

The 'Enroll Now for Free' button below connects to each course in the series. Sign up for one course, or several courses, by clicking the course tiles below.
