The QPR Online Gatekeeper Training is taught in a clear, concise format using the latest in educational technology and practices. The course takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
We typically offer QPR once a month; these trainings are identical, and participants should only register for one. Registration is for one person only, and we respectfully request that the link is not shared with anyone. Please note: If you miss more than 15 minutes of the training – including being late or leaving early – we will be unable to provide you with QPR certification.
Certificates of attendance documenting hours will be provided after the webinar via email upon completion of the course evaluation. This training requires a minimum of 10 participants per virtual event. If there are not at least 10 people registered for an event, it will be canceled. If you are signed up for a training that is canceled, we will reach out to you the day before to let you know and will offer to move your registration to another training date.
Registration will close when our limit of 50 participants has been met or at 5 pm on Monday, December 12 (whichever comes first).
