​The TRAIN Learning Network works alongside institutions that develop quality e-learning to ensure that these trainings are easily accessible. Course providers include: government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels; academic institutions, including schools of public health and funded programs such as the Public Health Training Centers; associations, non-profits; and others.

As a result of these collaborations, TRAIN offers a catalog of thousands of online courses and other training content that is widely available to learners through a single national platform. The vast majority (98%) of the content on TRAIN is free, with formats ranging from e-learning courses to recorded webinars. Additionally:

• About 42% of the content offers CEs
• Much of the content is aligned with national standards such as the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals, Public Health Preparedness (PHEP) Capabilities, and Healthcare System Preparedness (HPP) Capabilities
• Content can be searched by topic, credit type, competencies or capabilities, course provider organization, and more
