Identification management plays a core role in most of the work we do. As such everyone should have a foundational level of understanding about what it is and how it impacts us and our customers. Good identification management helps you to reduce and/or prevent fraud, loss of privacy and identity theft, by applying good practices and processes.

The recommended approach is to complete the courses in the following order:

  1. Identification Essentials

  2. Names and other Information

  3. Introduction to Identification Standards (in development)

  4. Biometrics 101 is a standalone course that can be completed at any time. 

Each course is made up of a series of modules, each taking approximately 20 minutes to complete. There is a small quiz at the end of the last module in each course.
