Process
1. ALL STAFF (cadet or senior, full time or part time) will complete "Cadet Programs Required Staff Training" online modules in Absorb prior to staffing the activity.

All activities are strongly encouraged to have RST In-person Training within the 24 to 72 hours prior to student arrival covering Activity Director expectations of staff, reviewing the RST information, and answering questions. However, any activity utilizing level one intensity MUST conduct 60 minutes of RST In-person Training within the 24 to 72 hours prior to student arrival.
