ADS5055

The VISSTA site where this was originally located no longer exists. The course has been relocated to the mandated reporter section of our Adult Protective Services page.

Reprinting a certificate for an already completed course is no longer an option. You will need to repeat the course.

CWS5691

The VISSTA site where this was originally located no longer exists. The course has been relocated to the mandated reporter section of our Child Protective Services (CPS) page.

Reprinting a certificate for an already completed course is no longer an option. You will need to repeat the course.

CWS5692

The VISSTA site where this was originally located no longer exists. The course has been relocated to the mandated reporter section of our Child Protective Services (CPS) page.

Reprinting a certificate for an already completed course is no longer an option. You will need to repeat the course when it becomes available.

Surveys Required to get Certificates at the Conclusion of Knowledge Center Courses

If you have completed a course in the knowledge center and are being asked to complete a survey to get your certificate, you will need to e-mail kristina.wilhite@dss.virginia.gov for assistance. These surveys no longer exist and are therefore no longer required. We are in the process of systematically removing these links to allow you to move forward with getting your certificate, but some of our coures still have this requirement.
