ESH Web Based Training through SkillSoft
NOTE: We have seen
unpredictable behavior with the older version 3.0 series of Firefox and
Safari on SkillSoft (Mac and PC) as well as pre version 9.0 of the
Adobe Flash player. The course will appear to perform
normally but the final scores are not always posting. Please update
your browser and Flash plug-in to the latest version available.
