The EHRS Training Matrix was created to provide employees and students an easy-to-use guide to the training courses offered by EHRS. Individuals can see the classes offered by EHRS, job types that require particular training and the frequency the course needs to be repated. Please call EHRS at 2-2520 with any and all training questions.
