COBRA Training & Certification Program

Used By Over 80% Of All Major TPAs!

COBRA is a federal law that requires employers to offer certain individuals who lose their health plan coverage continued coverage under that plan.

Under COBRA rules, there are several notice requirements, timelines, and numerous other administrative requirements that employers can use to help reduce potential claims - if you know how!

Our COBRA Training & Certification Program - a recipient of the "ASTD Excellence In Design" award - covers everything from the basics to advanced concepts, and will provide the answers to your questions regarding COBRA administration and COBRA compliance.

Bottom line, your COBRA training course will help you to better understand COBRA rules and requirements, and to handle your COBRA administration correctly. You also can test to earn a "Certified COBRA Administrator" designation!
