Welcome.

This is the home page for Illinois Required Training Solutions’ 2023 Chicago Bystander Intervention training, part of a course bundle that contains annual sexual harassment training for Illinois employees as well as containing the specialized content required for workers within the City of Chicago.

This course meets and exceeds the bystander intervention training requirement of Chicago Ordinance 2022-665.  This Ordinance changed the Chicago city municipal code to require that every worker in Chicago receive one hour of bystander intervention training, in addition to their required sexual harassment prevention training, every year.

This course requires one hour (60 minutes) of time spent with the course content.  It does NOT have to be completed all in one sitting.  Some people take longer depending on their preferred learning speed.  The course has no maximum time limit to complete.

How do I start taking the course?

If you’ve already purchased the Chicago Bar/restaurant Bundle for yourself, go to your My Courses tab of My Dashboard and click Launch Course to start training with either course.

If you’ve already purchased the Chicago NON bar/restaurant Bundle for yourself, go to your My Courses tab of My Dashboard and click Launch Course to start training with either course.

If your employer sent you a link for a pre-paid training course, click on that link to start training.

If you've previously trained with us AND your device is currently logged in to our system OR you are training on shared equipment AND you received a link for a NEW prepaid training course or bundle, you will be asked to click on the provided link TWICE to attach the new course or bundle to your student account.

The first click will log you out. Don't log back in at this point, but instead click again as instructed in the pop-up message.

The second click will give you a redemption screen where you redeem the prepaid course by logging back in as a Returning User.

If you don't see the new course listed under your My Courses tab, you may not have clicked the link twice.  Just do so again, following the instructions on screen.
