Hi, there is no courses available under “My Courses”. Now what?
How do I change my agency? I’m with a new agency that requires the CANS 2.0, do I need to set up a whole new account?
Hi Aramide-No need to create a new account. Email support@tcomtraining.com and they can assist!
Hi, I took the ANSA final exam twice and passed; valid for 6 months, but wanted to review my wrong answers to get an idea of what I am doing wrong so I can improve. I searched for quite some time and couldn’t find it. How can I do this?
I am interested in this type of training and employment opportunities. Are agencies in the Panhandle of Texas utilizing persons with the appropriate certifications?

My Training certificate is expiring in November 2018. I just need to update the California CANS 50 1.0 training correct not the Los Angeles County CANS 1.0? Just want to be prepared.
Good Afternoon Shannon,
Please check with your agency to see which course you need to certify in.
Thanks,
Lauren
