Knowledge Delivery System (KDS) is a web-based training program managed by the LSUHSC-NO Office of Compliance. Individuals must have an LSU logon ID to access KDS. Individuals can log into their own KDS account to obtain their completion dates of training and to request training course required that have not been assigned. Self-study training will NOT be accepted.

LSUHSC-NO employees, students and gratis members must complete their compliance training online through KDS. New personnel must wait for their LSU logon ID to complete their training online.
For Non-LSUHSC study team members, the Principal Investigator can ask their department business manager to request a LSUHSC user log name for study team members to allow access to the KDS training. Comparable alternative training may be accepted upon documentation for some specific training requirements.

LSUHSC-NO Environmental Health & Safety has task-specific training modules: EH&S.
