Info from the Heads Up website:
As of 4/9/13, the Heads Up website is up and running, but if you are not able to launch the course, please use the below instructions to complete your certification.
The Heads Up Online training course for coaches is under emergency repairs. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We are working hard to make the needed fixes and to make training available as soon as possible.
If you need to complete the training immediately, please review the course script and quiz available at the bottom of the page at: http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/HeadsUp/online_training.html. Once you have read the script and completed your answers for the quiz, please email (duipinquiries@cdc.gov) us the answers to the quiz. We will then send you a copy of your certificate of completion by email.
