Mandatory Training is training that is required by state or federal law or by college or system policies.  All UA-PTC employees, whether full- or part-time, are required to complete this training annually, based on the fiscal year (July 1-June 30).

Mandatory Training

• Mandated Reporter
• Title IX

If any new mandatory training is added, PDI will announce it via campus e-mail and post details to this page. Instructions for completing and submitting certificates, when required, are listed at the right.

The purpose of this online course is to help all Arkansas Mandated Reporters understand their critical role in protecting children by recognizing and reporting child abuse. As employees of an institution of higher education with students under the age of 18, we are considered Mandated Reporters. Everyone who suspects child abuse or neglect should call the Arkansas Child Abuse Hotline to make a report, but Mandated Reporters are required by law to do so.

Instructions for accessing the Mandated Reporter Training: (detailed instructions)

1. Click the following: Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse: Training for Arkansas Mandated Reporters
2. Complete the pre-test, self-paced training, and post-test.
3. Save the Certificate of Completion as a PDF and send it to pdi@uaptc.edu. Your certificate will be sent to Human Resources once we record the information into our database.

Notes:

• This training must be taken yearly.
