The FMLA Training & Certification Program
Master FMLA Compliance. Reduce Legal Risk. Earn Your Certified FMLA Administrator Credential.
The Family and Medical Leave Act continues to evolve — and so do employer obligations. With FMLA usage rising and employees increasingly aware of their rights, HR professionals must have a confident, working command of the law to protect their organization and administer leave correctly.
Our FMLA Training & Certification Program gives HR teams the knowledge, tools, forms, and practical skills needed to stay compliant, reduce risk, and properly manage even the most complex leave situations — including intermittent leave and suspected abuse.
