Summary: This guide is for trainees starting their safe ministry training. You'll need a training link or an email invite from your church. Log in (or create an account), then start your course from My Safe Training. Your screening details are collected as part of the course.

Step 1: Log in or create your account

  1. Click your training link or the link in your email invite. A login page will appear.

  1. Enter your email address and click Login.

  2. If you already have an account, or were emailed an invite, you'll be asked for your password. Enter it to go to your trainee profile.

Tip: If this is your first training invite and you don't have a password yet, click Forgot your password? to create one.
