OTED uses two Learning Management Systems (LMS) for its training programs: ComplianceWire LMS and the Pathlore LMS. Pathlore was the original OTED LMS for delivering classroom based training, and has recently rolled out for participant access. With the new ability for State, Local and Tribal Regulatory Partners to access this LMS, OTED has also added newly developed online training to the Pathlore LMS. ComplianceWire has historically been the LMS used for most of the online learning pre-requisites for the classroom training. Now both LMS systems will contain online content and prerequisites. Both systems require a separate username and Password.

OTED offers continuous learning with a combination of online courses and classroom training. We offer continuing education units (CEUs). FDA/ORA collaborates with its stakeholders and external organizations to develop suggested curricula to meet the training needs of our regulatory partners.
Our vision is for OTED to serve you as a source of training, as well as, a provider of certification.
OTED Online Courses
We presently offer over 100 web based courses. Topics include food and drug law, public health principles, communication skills, food microbiology, HACCP, foodborne illness investigations among others.
OTED online courses are competency-based with mastery quizzes contained within each module. Once you have completed a course, you can print a Certificate of Completion for your records.
These courses are made possible as a result of a partnership between FDA and a private learning development company, UL EduNeering, Inc.
