REQUIRED PRE-WORK: The CVC Primer, a free online course that provides basic information about CVC eligibility and benefits, is required pre-work for this “Introduction to the Crime Victims’ Compensation Program” training. The course is offered through Oregon iLearn and takes between 30-45 minutes to complete. In order to successfully complete the primer, you must answer eight out of ten final exam questions correctly. Click here for instructions on setting up your account and accessing the course. Once you’ve finished the primer, follow the instructions to save and email your certificate to cvssd@doj.oregon.gov (subject line: CVC Primer Certificate). This should be done at least 24-hours prior to your scheduled in-person training. Participants who have completed the primer and attended the “Introduction to the Crime Victims’ Compensation” in-person training will receive a final certificate of completion, which is needed to meet the CVC training requirements listed in our grant agreements.
