Sexual Harassment Prevention for Supervisors (California) Online Training

This online course teaches sexual harassment prevention to supervisors. It is built for California Government Code 12950.1 and 2 CCR 11024, which require at least 2 hours of training for supervisors within 6 months of taking a supervisory position and every 2 years after that (Gov. Code 12950.1(a)), and it uses interactive scenarios with discussion questions. It is written for supervisors in any industry in California.

How it works

Your employer's part

Your employer must still give you its written anti-harassment policy and keep your training record. Training alone does not protect an employer from liability.

What this course does not do

This course is for supervisors. Employees who do not supervise other people take a separate course of at least 1 hour (Gov. Code 12950.1(a)). Lesson 1 explains who counts as a supervisor. The 120 minutes of study before the final exam and the certificate of completion do not by themselves show that your employer has met the law. The course also covers federal law where it applies. The course is online only.
