NICE Framework Role-Specific Training Courses

Below are UMBC Training Centers’ recommendations for NICE Framework Role Specific Training.

Courses in Bold are strongly recommended for everyone in that role to complete, even if they have some prior knowledge and experience (to ensure currency with the latest technologies and standards).

The other courses listed for each role address important skills for the role, but we expect that most individuals working in these roles currently will already have those skills. However, many individuals may be interested in adding or strengthening these skills by taking some of these supplemental courses.
