Compliance Updates

Compliance & Regulatory

Our Compliance Specialists maintain a dynamic and chronological database of updates as they are made to our courses, in order to provide our clients with specific and detailed information as to the nature of these updates. We issue what we call our “Compliance Blast,” which provides an in-depth summary of all compliance updates. In this manner we keep our clients informed of regulatory changes in the industry that affect their eLearning training.
