Safeguarding Youth Refresher Training 

The new Safeguarding Youth Refresher Training has launched to help you renew this annual required training. 

If you have completed the full Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT) course and it is currently active or has expired within the last 7 days, you are eligible to take the Refresher Training. 

If your full SYT training has been expired for 7 days or more, you will need to complete the full Safeguarding Youth Course again before receiving credit. 

Participants taking the Refresher Training must successfully pass the exam on the first attempt to receive credit for the Y01 training code. If the exam is not passed, the system will automatically route you to the full Safeguarding Youth Course to ensure a complete review of the material. Once the refresher exam is failed, the refresher course cannot be relaunched, and the full course must be completed. 

The Safeguarding Youth Refresher Training will be available in English and Spanish.

Folks that still have active YPT and have not taken the new SYT will need to do so by 5/31 regardless of when the 2-year expiration is.
