The University of California has undertaken many efforts to improve how it prevents and responds to sexual violence and sexual harassment on UC campuses. The university has developed eCourses specifically geared toward its Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy. On an annual basis, all Extension employee instructors (including all campus faculty and staff) are now required to complete an online course designed to satisfy the requirements of California law (AB1825).

The required training teaches everyone in our community about prohibited conduct and how such conduct should be reported by students, instructors and staff. The course is administered through the UC Learning Center. Recent events emphasize the importance of complying with annual mandatory training.

Annual Training Requirements

• Newly hired employee instructors: All new employee instructors are required to complete the one-hour prevention and response training within the first six weeks of the start date of their agreement with the University.
• Current employee instructors: All must complete the one-hour prevention and response training every year, which includes training on their obligations under UC Policy to report sexual violence. All employee instructors will be assigned the SVSH prevention course on their anniversary training date.
• The training is video-based and is accessible for people who are sight and hearing impaired. Learn more about accessibility.
• Please complete the training within 30 days; completion will be tracked.
• If your home department is another UC campus or a different UC Berkeley department (non-Extension), please complete the training annually through your home UC department. You do not need to take an additional training through UC Berkeley Extension.
• Due to system limitations, independent-contractor instructors or UC-affiliate instructors (hired through third parties) will not be able to access the LMS and are therefore not required to complete the training at this time.
