VCU VISSTA is pleased to offer the following online, self-paced courses for Non-VDSS employees.  NOTE: VDSS employees can register for these courses through the Knowledge Center.

• ADS5055: Mandated Reporters: Recognizing and Reporting Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of Adults - (Online)
  
  
• CWS5691: Child Abuse and Neglect: Recognizing, Reporting, and Responding for Educators - (Online)
  This course is an extensive course that includes professional development credits provided to Virginia teachers by the Virginia Department of Education.
  
  
• CWS5692: Mandated Reporters: Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect – (Online)
  This course was designed for a wide range of participants with varying needs. The decision was made, in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS), to only offer a completion certificate for this course. Because the audience is so varied, it would be impossible for VDSS and VISSTA to offer every possible educational/professional development credit available.
  
  In making the decision to only offer a certificate of completion, it was hoped that course participants could take their completion certificate back to their organization and work with that organization to receive any educational/professional development credits available.
  
  Thank you for your interest in the Mandated Reporter courses.
