General Training

How much is the HIPAA training with certificate?

Our basic HIPAA training with certificate is completely free. We only ask that you consider leaving a review and making an optional donation. This helps us keep the training free, release new modules, and maintain our website. Some advanced courses and live training sessions may have a fee.

How long does the training take?

The basic training is approximately 30 minutes long, including the video modules and quiz.

Who should take this training?

Our training is designed for healthcare professionals, business associates, medical couriers, IT staff, and anyone who may come into contact with Protected Health Information (PHI).

Is this training compliant with HIPAA regulations?

Yes. Our course covers the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule to ensure compliance with federal requirements.

Do I need to pass a test to get my certificate?

Yes. Each module includes a short quiz. You must answer all questions correctly to generate your certificate.

How long is the certificate valid?

The certificate is valid for one year, in accordance with HIPAA training best practices. You will receive a reminder when it is time to renew.

Will this training work with the Texas Medical Records Privacy Act (HB 300)?

HIPAA Training US covers the foundational HIPAA requirements that apply nationwide. However, Texas has additional training requirements under the Texas Medical Records Privacy Act (HB 300) that go beyond standard HIPAA training. Our sister company, HIPAA Certify, offers a dedicated paid course specifically designed to meet those additional Texas requirements. We recommend completing both our free HIPAA training and the HIPAA Certify HB 300 course for full compliance in Texas.

Do you issue CEU/CME credits?

No. At this time, we do not provide continuing education credits. However, our certificate is widely accepted as proof of HIPAA compliance training.

Do you offer Bloodborne Pathogens Training?

Bulk Employee HIPAA Training

How do managers track employee training progress?

After enrolling your team, you will receive a unique tracking link by email.

You will also receive daily progress reports by email until all employees have completed their training.
