Self-Guided Online Courses

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina provides these courses, to North Carolina citizens free of charge through support from the North Carolina Division of Social Services and the generosity of our supporters. We welcome contributions to help us continue to provide these services for professionals and concerned citizens interested in promoting the well-being of families across North Carolina.

Self-Guided Course Format

Courses are divided into modules, lessons, and topics, and the user will be guided through each step. Users can pause at any time, or logout and return to pick up where they left off. Each course will end with a Survey and Quiz, as well as a Certificate of Completion that can be printed or saved.

Feedback

At the end of each courses, you will be guided through several survey questions. Your feedback is important and will help us improve and develop future versions.
