As a reminder, NIRMA partners with Lexipol/LocalGov U to provide members with hundreds of online training courses that can be utilized to satisfy annual continuing education requirements.
Preview the courses available from new links added to the platform’s landing page. To get there, scroll to the bottom of NIRMA’s home page and select NIRMA Online University under the Partners heading. On the landing page, you’ll see a link to courses that match topics required by Nebraska state law for county deputies and sheriffs, as well as a link to a full list of courses available. You’ll find learning opportunities for all county job roles.
From this landing page, click the green Sign in for Training button if you already have login credentials for the platform. If you’ve never used the platform before, follow the separate link to register. To retrieve forgotten credentials, follow the instructions under the Username/Password Reset heading to call customer service. After logging in to the platform, the fully searchable catalog of courses is available.
Note: You do NOT need to use the Member Login button on the NIRMA home page to access this online training. Instead, the platform requires separate user login credentials. We’ve been partnering with Lexipol/LocalGovU for more than fifteen years, and their online training platform has evolved significantly during that time, so it’s a good time to check out what you may be missing, even if you’ve used the platform in the distant past!
Each member county or agency can designate administrator(s) within the platform. They can easily assign required courses to groups of employees, set deadlines for completion with automatic reminders sent to the employees, print completion certificates, and more! Several member counties utilize this capability to accomplish county-wide sexual harassment training. Online tutorials are available in the platform for administrators. Each member county or agency’s NIRMA Contact Person is the default administrator in the platform, but more than one person can be designated.
NIRMA staff and Lexipol/LocalGovU are here to help troubleshoot any technical issues and answer questions. Contact Lexipol’s Customer Success Representative Ana Wahls at 469-553-0634, or call the NIRMA office.
