CSD Pool Online University
McGriff, Seibels & Williams Inc. has entered an agreement with FirstNet Learning (FNL) whereby FNL has deployed a Colorado Special Districts Property and Liability Pool Online University.
This has been set up as a group purchase program for Pool Members at 30% to 50% off the average retail price.
Choose from hundreds of training topics and solutions for Health, Safety, Driver Education, Human Capital Management, Employment Practices, Discrimination, and Office Productivity. The price per training unit varies with the quantity of training units purchased.
The pricing per training unit (TU), which is equivalent to a 30 minute session, is $8. Some multiple hour courses will run up to 4 training units. Members will receive discount on quantity purchases as follows:
| Training Units (TU) | Cost per TU |
|---|---|
| 12 to 24 | $8.00 |
| 25 to 99 | $7.50 |
| 100 - 249 | $7.00 |
| 250 - 999 | $6.50 |
| 1000 or more | $6.00 |
All training is controlled by a designated administrator through an online approval system. Districts will be able to control employee access to the training systems.
Training records are kept secure within the data system, by employee name and they are available only to the District's designated administrator. This provides the necessary documentation for Affirmative Defense in Discrimination, Harassment, and Employment Claims where training of all employees can be demonstrated. Training can be assigned by the employer to employees and tracked by the District through a simple login process on the website. For an additional fee, a District can choose to set up their own website campus with the applicable district logos.
Five campuses will be tailored as to job duties. A free course offering a sixth option will be featured periodically.
We will be creating additional training specific to Colorado Special District's educational needs, so please contact Joe DePaepe at jdepaepe@mcgriff.com with any ideas.
