The OVA has been approved for a Red Cross grant whereby members are eligible to access free training on Preventing Disease Transmission*. We are asking you to take advantage of this opportunity to complete the training before September 30 as this information will be useful for any upcoming OVA events. The training is free, can be done online, is available in both English and French and takes about 40 minutes.
The instructions and coupon code to access the training is below. When selecting the module, please choose the Self-Directed option. Once you have completed the training, you will be able to download a PDF certificate of completion. If you could email that certificate to Chery Bennett (cbennett@ontariovolleyball.org), it would be greatly appreciated as we need to keep track of the number of coupon codes being used.
We would like to thank the Canadian Red Cross for this opportunity to help our members stay educated and safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
*Note that there is a limited amount of codes that can be used. This will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
About the Red Cross Training:
The Preventing Disease Transmission course was developed by the Canadian Red Cross and supports front-line workers responding to COVID-19 in low and medium-risk environments.
The course content outlines how infection occurs, how to use Personal Protective Equipment correctly, and best practices to reduce the risk of infection.
This program is provided to registered charities, qualified donees and non-profit organizations by Canadian Red Cross through funding from the Government of Canada led by Employment and Social Development Canada.
Both self-directed and virtual instructor-led sessions are about 40 minutes in length. Self-directed training allows the participant to take the training at any time that is convenient and learn at their own pace. Those opting for virtual instructor-led sessions will select from the available dates and times in the schedule.
