titleWhich course do I take? How long will it take?
  • From the two options, which Which Sexual Harassment Prevention Course you complete is dependent on your supervisory or staff level: 
    1. Sexual Harassment Prevention for Employees (length: 1.5 hours): Take this course if you do not have anyone reporting to you OR are not at a staff level of Pastor, Minister, Manager, or Director.
    2. Sexual Harassment Prevention for Managers (length: 2 hours): Take this course if you supervise other Reliant staff OR are at a staff level of Pastor, Minister, Manager, or Director. If you supervise volunteers or have other supervisory responsibilities and would like to take this course, go for it! The Managers course includes the same content as the one for employees plus about 30 minutes of additional material for supervisors.

  • All employees must take the first Abuse Awareness Course. Taking the second course is dependent on your supervisory or staff level: 
    1. Abuse Awareness (length: 1.5 hours): Take this course if you're a Reliant employee or Associate. 
    2. Skillful Screening (length: 2.25 hours): Take this course in addition to the Abuse Awareness course, if you supervise other Reliant staff OR are at a staff level of Pastor, Minister, Manager, or Director. If you are involved in interviews or the hiring process for staff or volunteers, this course is optional but recommended for you. Use your discernment or talk to your supervisor on if this course is right for you, and email learning@reliant.org if you would like access to the course.

For most staff, the training will take about 3 hours. For staff in supervisory or leadership roles, the training will take about 5 hours. All of the courses can be taken at the user's own pace and they do not have to be completed in one sitting. Here's more detailed information about the Required Education Courses.

titleWhat's the deadline?

You'll begin receiving communication to your Reliant email address the week of June 8. And you will have until August 7, 2020 to complete the steps listed at the top of this page. We challenge you to complete these steps sooner, rather than later. It's at least four 3 hours worth of work.

titleI completed the courses as part of my New Staff Training with Reliant. Do I need to take them again?

All Reliant Staff that attended New Staff Training (NST) as of May 2020 were required to complete the courses within 30 days of NST. If you attended NST since May 2020 and completed the course, you do not need to take them as part of the Annual Requirements for existing staff.

Some Reliant Staff that are part of the Fixed Term program completed the Abuse Awareness training when they were hired. If you are a resident or intern and completed that training since January 2020, you do not need to complete that course as part of the Annual Requirements for existing staff. You will still need to complete the Sexual Harassment Prevention course.

titleCan we go through these together as a ministry team?

The courses are available to you, your supervisor and any non-Reliant ministry staff or volunteers your supervisor may think necessary. We recommend going through the content and quizzes on your own, but discussing , and your ministry leaders (even if they are not employed by Reliant). You will need to complete the course on your own. However, we encourage you to discuss as a team how this information and the related policy changes may impact your ministry work. This is especially applicable to staff who work . For example, maybe with children and youth (ages 17 and under) or vulnerable adults as the Child and Vulnerable Adult Safety policy and guidelines is new for Reliant.
