FREE training finder
Credentialing requirements should not come with a tuition bill. Here is where to find no-cost training for the requirements hospitals ask vendors to carry — plus the training your own facilities publish inside Rep Re: Vault.
Start with your facility's own training
When a facility publishes a training module in Rep Re: Vault, you watch the video, take the quiz and print a certificate of completion right in your vault. It is FREE, it is issued by the facility that requires it, and a passing score files the matching credential automatically. Look for the Facility training section on your dashboard.
Outside sources that cost nothing
These are public agencies and public-health catalogs. Availability, course content and whether a certificate is issued are controlled by those organizations and can change, so confirm with your facility that a given course satisfies its requirement before you rely on it.

A word of caution
Plenty of sites advertise a free course and then charge to release the certificate. Read the checkout step before you start, and never pay for a document you can get from the facility that requires it. If you find a genuinely free source we should list here, send it to us and we will look at it.
