Sexual Harassment Prevention in the Workplace

Why is this training important to me?

40-70% of female workers and 10-20% of male workers experience workplace sexual harassment.

Victims of harassment often have negative emotional, physical, and financial impact.

Those who observe harassment, or provide support to victims are also impacted.

Sexual Harassment Prevention Training is required for all  persons who hold a professional license issued by the Division of Professional Regulation within Illinois and are subject to a continuing education (CE) requirement.
  • This requirement becomes effective for all applicable license renewals occurring on or after January 1, 2020.
  • This one-hour of sexual harassment prevention training CE course has been created in order to fulfill this requirement. 
  • Upon successful completion of the course, print a certificate of completion to be maintained in your own personal files, should proof of completion be requested.
