Training Opportunities

All Prevention and Early Intervention Reporting System (PEIRS) users are required to complete IT cybersecurity training every year.

First-time users must register for a new account on the HHS Learning Portal before enrolling in the course. (Note that this account is different from the HHS Enterprise Portal registration and the Department of Family and Protective Services Learning Portal.)

After completing the training, users should finish the knowledge test, print the completion certificate, and file with other contract compliance documents.

Organizations that are sub-awardees (subcontractors) must provide the required documentation to their lead agency, which is responsible for providing certification for any subaward staff accessing PEIRS.

Summary
