Direct Service Provider Brain Injury Training

The state of North Dakota offers three free online brain injury courses. These courses, offered through North Dakota TRAIN, are required by North Dakota Health & Human Services for all direct service providers working with individuals with brain injury. The North Dakota Brain Injury Network is a partner with the state and wants to ensure everyone meets the necessary requirements.

Courses

The courses and expected times to complete each course are:

  1. Introduction to Brain Injury (52 minutes)
  2. Cognitive & Behavioral Consequences of Brain Injury (48 minutes)
  3. My Client has a Brain Injury – Now What? (28 minutes)

These courses may be taken in one sitting or at three separate times, but they are all required. The final exam that follows each course needs to be completed with 70% accuracy or higher in order to gain the certificate of completion.
