Peer Ethics Training 

Location: Virtual via Zoom

Throughout our careers, we inevitably face ethical dilemmas with employers, coworkers, and those we serve. These situations often leave us feeling uncertain about the best course of action, especially when the choices aren’t clear-cut. That’s where a peer code of ethics is indispensable—to help us navigate these complexities. In this training, you will learn how to identify the standards of conduct within the Code, think through the gray areas, and respond to different types of conflict. 

  • If you are seeking certification - or recertification – through Iowa Board of Certification (IBC), and want to confirm if this training meets the requirements you need, please contact the IBC directly. The IBC website is: https://iowabc.org/
