Learning Pass Credits (Training Units)

    The Learning Pass Credit/Training Unit Program is an easy and convenient way for a company to purchase discounted training for its employees and minimize administrative paperwork. The program is simple; to receive a discount, a required minimum purchase of credits must be completed upfront. The more Learning Pass Credits/Training Units you purchase, the greater discount you receive. LPCs/TUs are then used to redeem available training.
