Online EIM Training

Online EIM training fulfills the EIM compliance/training requirement only for applicants who have an existing EIM account and have previously attended an EIM Workshop.

New applicants, and those who have never attended an EIM Workshop,
must attend an in-person EIM Workshop to fulfill their initial EIM compliance requirement.
Log in to your EIM account to find a list of EIM Workshops, 
or contact your parish/school EIM site administrator for assistance.

The online EIM training includes a frank discussion of sexual abuse;
if you have experienced sexual abuse and have concerns about viewing this material,
