Hartman Publishing’s skills videos are here!

If you are a current adopter trying to access your videos using your school code, please go here: videos.hartmanonline.com.

Each Hartman video contains an introduction to the skill or topic, along with the needed supplies and equipment, which are listed slowly, giving the viewer time to pause or review the information before moving on. While the skill is being performed, a voiceover explains each step, often including a rationale for context.

Many videos have a longer explanation of the beginning and ending steps, while newer videos have a much briefer explanation. If instructors prefer their students see those longer sections, the newer videos can be supplemented with the separate video below on performing beginning and ending steps.

Deciding to produce and add to our video collection, focusing on the skills most often tested on the certification exam and most often requested, was the result of hundreds of conversations with instructors and program directors. Each video comes with closed captioning files in both English and Spanish if you need them.

We have chosen to give open access to the videos for all adopters of our books, which is included as part of the price of our textbooks.
