prepare for Public Health Accreditation (PHAB) by accessing content on TRAIN and establishing expert workgroups to vet courses according to criteria specific to their agencies.
TRAIN provides access to a wide variety of high quality courses developed by nationally-recognized and respected
training providers, including government agencies, academic institutions, and professional associations. The vast majority of these courses are free, and many note specific competencies, such as the
Core Competencies for Public Health for Public Health Professionals, allowing learners to search for courses that address these competencies.

TRAIN learner at no cost and register for the nationally available training plans as well as the thousands of other training opportunities available through the TRAIN Learning Network. Learners also maintain a transcript on TRAIN of their coursework.
