PPRA Online Course Registration - Fall 2024

You are registering for a self-paced Protection of Individuals from Restraint and Seclusion Act (PPRA) online course. The course consists of 12 lessons with the majority containing a video, resources, and a check for understanding. Upon successful completion of each of the checks for understanding, participants will receive a certificate of completion for three (3) hours of continuing education credit. This course is designed exclusively for Colorado public educators.


If you are not a Colorado public educator. you may access a noncredit version of the course. It does not include the assessments and the CDE credit hours are not available for this version of the course, but it has all the same videos and information. Please click the link below to join as a guest.
