This two-day course covers all aspects of completing a full NTD Report, from the perspective of someone who is unfamiliar with NTD reporting. If your system is planning on reporting as a Reduced Reporter, you should not sign up for this course, as most of the material will not be relevant to you.

Finally, Safety & Security reporting is not covered in this course,but is covered by a separate webinar.
