Compliance Training

Sexual Harassment Prevention California

California expects this training on a recurring cycle, and expects it to be interactive rather than a video someone leaves playing in the corner. This course is built that way. Four modules cover who is protected and where the rules reach, what prohibited conduct looks like in person and online, how reporting and investigations are supposed to run, and what to do when a coworker tells you something happened. Twenty checkpoint questions sit inside the videos, each module ends in a quiz, and the final exam is drawn at random from a 20-question bank.

Who This Course Is For

This is the one-hour course for non-supervisory employees. Supervisors and managers need the separate two-hour California supervisor course, which carries these four modules plus four more on the duty to act, escalation, and investigations.

A Final Exam Drawn at Random

The final assessment pulls 20 questions from a 20-question bank and shuffles the answer options on every attempt. Module quizzes and in-video checkpoints shuffle their options too, so there is no answer pattern to pass around the office. You need 80% to pass, and you can retake it as many times as you need. Each retake is a fresh draw, not a second run at the same paper.

What This Completion Record Does and Does Not Cover

Completion documents participation in California sexual-harassment-prevention training for the assigned employee or supervisor path. It does not decide any individual legal claim or replace the employer's written policy, reporting channels, prompt response duties, corrective action, or qualified legal guidance.

What You Still Have to Supply

Read this before you assign seats. It is the one part of the job the course cannot do for you.

Employers: this course delivers the one-hour prevention training for non-supervisory employees. Supervisors need the separate two-hour course. To complete your obligation you must also distribute your own policy and complaint form and tell your staff who their reporting contacts are. Nothing in this course fabricates those details.

The rules this course is built on

We teach to the published text. Read it yourself — every link below goes to the issuing agency or legislature, not to a summary.

Issuing authority: California Legislature (Government Code) and the California Civil Rights Department

Provided so you can verify what we teach against the source. This is reference material, not legal advice, and reading it does not by itself discharge an employer obligation.

Common Questions

Does buying this course finish our training obligation?

No, and we would rather say so before you pay than after. This delivers the general prevention training and records who completed it. You still have to give your staff your own sexual harassment prevention policy and the notice with it, tell them where the complaint form lives, name at least two people a report can go to, tell them where to send a question about the policy, and tell them what to do in an emergency. The course teaches learners to go looking for those five things; it cannot invent them for your workplace.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is training. It explains the standard and how reporting, investigations and retaliation protection are supposed to work in general terms. It does not decide any individual complaint and it is not a substitute for a lawyer when you have a live situation.

How often does this training have to be repeated?

California runs a recurring cycle rather than an annual one — two years for most employers. The completion record is dated so you can track your employer’s schedule, and some employers run a shorter internal cycle.

We already bought your general sexual harassment prevention course. Is this the same thing?

No. This is a separate, longer, California-specific course: the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and the California prevention-training expectation run through it, and the reporting module names California forums. The two courses keep separate completion records, so finishing this one does not overwrite the other and a worker can hold both.

Does watching the videos count as interactive training on its own?

Passive playback is not what California is asking for. That is why there are twenty checkpoint questions inside the videos, a quiz after every module and a final exam, each with feedback on the answer.

Does it cover conduct that happens by text, chat or after hours?

Yes. Module 1 covers where and when the rules reach, including digital and off-hours conduct connected to work, and Module 2 works through a digital boundary-crossing scenario and harassment by customers, vendors and other third parties.

What happens if someone fails the final exam?

They retake it. Every attempt draws a new set of questions from the bank, so a retake is a real re-test.

Can I buy seats for my team?

Yes. Five-seat and ten-seat bundles are on this page, and there is an enterprise option for larger headcounts.
