Provide Access to CGA Curriculum Within Your LMS

Members of the Common Ground Alliance who manage their own Learning Management System (LMS) have the opportunity to host individual modules within your own LMS.  This is a great option for CGA members who have robust training and education available through their own learning platform but would like to provide their employees/learners with access to targeted CGA content.  If you are interested in learning more about this option and the requirements for implementation, please complete this form and CGA staff will get back to you with additional information.
