We’ve launched a new and improved system! Click here to switch to EOT 4.0.

Pre-made Courses


Your annual EOT subscription comes with four pre-made courses, called "New Staff," "Returning Staff," "Program Staff," and "Supervisory Staff." Each was hand-crafted by EOT’s co-founder, Dr. Chris Thurber, and takes 4-5 hours to complete. The table below shows you which topics are included in each course. (Certain modules are included only for certain types of programs.)

Check Mark = required module for a given course; varies slightly according to your specific program
Check Mark = recommended elective, some of which are required for Certificates in Youth Leadership
