No. EPI's practical Error Prevention Basic Course is a one time purchase for a single user that is available to that individual for a period of one year. On the other hand, Yes, we do offer an optional Annual Subscription for our Sustainability Edition, which was designed to provide the ongoing team discussions needed to keep Error Prevention top of mind, and to provide an opportunity for leaders and employees to focus on issues particular to their team and their tasks.
