Essentials of Pre-Employment Background Screening and Vetting (PBSV) Certificate Program

Hiring a new employee is an important responsibility for any organization. An employer who performs preemployment background screening and vetting (PBSV) processes is more likely to bring into the organization individuals who will prove to be effective assets. Without a PBSV process, that same employer runs the risk of hiring someone who could become a significant liability.

This self-paced, online course will aid you in developing, implementing, and maintaining a preemployment background screening and vetting program. This course features exercises and aids to relate the concepts taught to your organization and will take about three hours to complete.

This online certificate course includes 6-month access to the course material and a certificate assessment. Successful completion of the course and passing the assessment awards a certificate of competency. This certificate demonstrates you have gained the knowledge and skills essential to a preemployment background screening and vetting program.
