The COBRA Training & Certification Program

Fully Updated For The 2004 Regulations! Changing rules, regulations, and court cases make COBRA compliance extremely complex. And as several well-known Fortune 500 companies have learned the hard way, improper COBRA administration can have costly results.

Our COBRA Training & Certification Program - a recipient of the "ASTD Excellence In Design" award - provides comprehensive information on the many and varied COBRA requirements and procedures.

The Program''s easy-to-learn design has numerous tips, examples, and procedural recommendations that are interspersed with interactive Q and A sessions so that you are confident that you are learning and in where your strengths and weaknesses lie. Its "Bookmark" feature also lets you learn at your own pace, and gives you the ability to review previously completed material.

You can also test for a "Certified COBRA Administrator" designation and earn eight hours of PHR and SPHR re-certification credits!

Besides the basics and the new regulations, you''ll also learn advanced techniques so you can:

Proactively determine Cessation Of Dependency Status and other potential Qualifying Events before you''re notified or - perhaps even worse - find out after the fact
Use Affirmative Rejection and Alternative Coverage design options to reduce health care and claims costs
Handle Medicare, FMLA, and other coordination issues
Know how to address the new notice requirements, region-specific HMO issues, Health Flexible Spending Accounts, and other items where new guidance was recently issued

Course Testimonials

"These Training & Certification Programs are excellent tools for training both new and experienced administrators. The Program is well designed and very easy to use. We highly recommend them to all of our clients." - Gary Mosiman

"The COBRA Training & Certification Program is providing my staff with an excellent foundation for understanding and applying COBRA's complex and often confusing regulations. It is amazing how many times, as I was studying through the material, that a question raised by one of the staff was the very issue I read the day before. Having completed the material, I am much better prepared to answer the inquiries of our clients and their COBRA participants." - Dana Hofseth

"I truly enjoyed being able to take the Training & Certification Program right at my own computer! My schedule is very busy and it was nice being able to study and test on my timeline and not someone else's. Thank you for providing this service!" - Sandra Wilcox
