Safe Sanctuary Test Application

Safe Sanctuary Certification is now less time consuming and more efficient. You can review the materials at your own pace, take the test online and print off your certificate once you have passed.

2. Once you feel confident that you know the material:

    Go to the testing application.

    Use this information to access the testing module:
