Sources and what we verifiedCDC Project Firstline page naming the TRAIN training groups and stating a certificate is issued when videos are launched from TRAIN ↗CDC: CDC TRAIN is a free online learning platform with free CE for many courses ↗CDC: Project Firstline training is free and for all healthcare workers, including CNAs ↗

What we verified: CDC's Firstline training page (last reviewed April 16, 2024) lists 'Group Five' with TRAIN course 1118789 and says 'Launch the video from TRAIN to receive your certificate.' CDC's TRAIN page says TRAIN is free. The TRAIN course page itself renders only via JavaScript and could not be read, so duration and logged in certificate issuance were not observed. The CDC page still advertises CE through TCEO but gives no hours, so no CE credit is claimed here.

Fees and eligibility can change. Confirm current terms with the issuer before you pay.
