This instructor led exam review course is designed for individuals interested in becoming Enrolled Agents through examination. All three parts of the Special Enrollment Examination are covered to provide the necessary content knowledge to confidently approach the required exam. "An enrolled agent is a person who has earned the privilege of practicing, that is, representing taxpayers, before the Internal Revenue Service. Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants (CPAs), are unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can practice before."* Prepare for the three separate exams with the popular review material that includes a test bank with approximately 3,500 practice questions to set you on the road for success. To become an enrolled agent the IRS requires individuals to achieve passing scores on all three parts of the Special Enrollment Examination and pass a background check to ensure that individuals have not engaged in any conduct that would justify the suspension or disbarment of an attorney, CPA, or enrolled agent from practice before the IRS.

Anyone who supervises staff knows that it can be a very time-consuming part of your job. We developed the Supervisory Skills series to give supervisors
the skills they need to make effective supervision almost second nature. The series is divided into three parts currently offered in fall, winter and
spring with each part focusing on a different key area of supervision.
Supervisory Skills I: Principles of Supervision
Supervisors have the responsibility to manage not only their own time and performance, but their staff's as well. Designed for new supervisors with little
or no formal training, as well as experienced supervisors looking for new strategies to motivate, manage and communicate, this series provides real-world
knowledge that can be applied immediately. Each program is comprised of three or four one-day sessions that have a very specific focus. Ideally, supervisors take
the complete three-part series for an in-depth learning experience. However, each program is designed to stand alone as is each one-day session. This
allows you the flexibility to enroll in the complete series, take just one program or select the individual sessions that are most relevant to your needs.
Receive a certificate of completion after finishing Supervisory Skills I, II and III.

People Powered Safety: Applying Human Dynamics for Injury Prevention
32 Hours | $995
Contract Price: $11,000
Description:
This spirited, research-based training course will specify practical ways to facilitate
the self-motivation needed to achieve and sustain a Total Safety Culture. An injury-free
culture requires people to do the right things for safety when working and driving, this
requires self-accountability and self-motivation. This is for everyone, it includes the
principles and procedures which can be applied beyond safety to build trust and caring to
improve the overall quality of conversations, relationships, coaching and risk perceptions
in the workplace. This training extends and refines the content in behavior based safety by
addressing the person-based factors to improve safety on the job. We focus on thoughts and
attitudes that can influence safe behavior, drawing on extensive research to discuss the
psychology of safety before focusing on four key skills that promote safety- Acting,
Coaching, Thinking, and Seeing. This training will help guide and educate people on social
influence, which will improve attitude and behavior, as well as the ABC model of behavior
looking at social skills and training for coaching. We also address communication skills,
how to communicate effectively, persuading and teaching people to do the safe behavior. We
will also examine how to properly collect and analyze behavioral data, how to assess where
people are and goal setting, how to set smart goals. This training coursed is both a
psychological study and helpful guide for achieving the Total Safety Culture you seek for
your organization.

SafetyCompass™ - Dynamic Safeguarding in the Workplace
$995/32 Hours
Incidents occur in dynamic, constantly changing and often
unpredictable environments.
Various mechanical and procedural safeguards are used to mitigate
the risk of incidents occurring. Such safeguards are necessary and
have proven effective; but they are limited by their static nature.
These safeguards are usually fixed, non-responsive and slow to
adapt, leaving them inherently inadequate to mitigate risks in
dynamic work environments. People, on the other hand, are suited
to serve as a dynamic safeguard against incidents. When front-line
employees see something unsafe in the moment, they are uniquely
positioned to stop it and prevent it from resulting in an incident.
However, employees often fail to fulfill this role. This training
gives participants a thorough understanding of safeguarding issues,
presents solutions, case studies and exercises relevant to the ESH
field, which will then enable participants to implement solutions
within their organizations.
