Opus is a Sexual Harassment Prevention compliance provider for non-supervisors and supervisors in Washington, D.C., in partnership with the D.C. Office of Human Rights. Certification works a little differently from other states, and this article covers what's unique.

Table of Contents:

This module is broken into 4 sections (Introduction, Prevention, Scenarios, and Filing a Complaint) encompassing 16 courses that can be completed overtime. Like the other Sexual Harassment Prevention versions, it has no passing score.

D.C. requires the training for both supervisors and non-supervisors. Opus offers a version for each:

Opus assigns each team member the version that matches their Location's state and their Role.

After a Trainee completes the Module in Opus, they're invited to an OHR satisfaction survey, the final step of certification.

The D.C. OHR keeps the certificates. They transfer between employers and are valid for 2 years. Trainees can request a copy from tipsdc@dc.gov.

Opus tracks completion but doesn't issue official certificates. Your business reports compliance directly to the D.C. OHR.

To get the data, open Sexual Harassment Prevention from your Library and find the Washington, D.C. version on the Overview tab. Click Download DC OHR Report.

Turn on Monthly email reminders next to it to get a monthly reminder to submit your report. Each Admin turns it on for themselves; it's off by default.

No, Opus will not retain a record or copy of these certificates. Opus will store the certification date, but the certificate is stored with the D.C. OHR.

Trainees receive their certificate only after they complete the OHR satisfaction survey at the end of the Module. Check that they finished the survey.
