Stay informed about quality, online trainings from CDC, other federal agencies, and federally funded partners with CDC Learning Connection. Share this email with your colleagues and encourage them to sign up for the newsletter!

Note: You may have received this newsletter because you indicated an interest in CDC learning opportunities when you created an account in Training and Continuing Education Online (TCEO).

Reminder: New activities that offer continuing education (CE) from CDC will now be listed in CDC TRAIN only. The move to one system will improve efficiency and make it easier for you to access non-credit and for-credit activities, and earn CE in one place – CDC TRAIN! If you do not already have a TRAIN account, please create one. You will be able to access your previous CE records in TCEO through the end of 2025. We will keep you updated as the transition continues.
