Every mandatory reporter in Iowa is required to take the full 2-hour training AND have a non-expired certification prior to being eligible to take the 1-hour recertification training.  If a mandatory reporter allows their certificate (for either the 2-hour training or the 1-hour recertification training) to expire, they are required to take the 2-hour training again. 

Please sign in here to access all Mandatory Reporter Training. Once a participant signs in or creates an account, they will be routed to a welcome page to select the training they need.

Complete the full 2-hour course(s) if this is your first time completing the Mandatory Reporter Training provided by HHS or if your current certification has expired:

• DS 168 Dependent Adult Abuse Mandatory Reporter Training
• DS 169 Child Abuse Mandatory Reporter Training

If you have previously completed the full 2-hour course(s), DS 168 Dependent Adult Abuse Mandatory Reporter Training and/or DS 169 Child Abuse Mandatory Reporter Training and your current certification has not expired, you are eligible for the 1-hour recertification course(s):

• DS 170 Dependent Adult Abuse Mandatory Reporter Recertification Training
• DS 171 Child Abuse Mandatory Reporter Recertification Training
