  • The system tracks training only for those involved in current events/programs. If someone completed training two years ago and no longer participates in a youth program, the system would not require them to renew their training.
  • Those who are interested in checking on their training expiration date can complete the following steps.
    • Step 1: Log in to Purdue University Protection of Minors Portal (ideal-logic.com)
    • Step 2: Click on “View All Requirements” under “Your Compliance”

Purdue EMG’s are to contact their EMG County Coordinator to ask questions about this training.
