DCS Online Courses
We have several courses that our department has developed for 1 hour each. Once you register you will be invited to the course so you can access the tasks. The deadline is not until May so you have plenty of time to explore. Once you have completed them you will receive a certificate. Use this link to Register for a Course — bit.ly/dcsonlinePD
