In California, sexual harassment training is now mandatory for all companies with a population over 50. Does the instructor have to be certified?

While going through the legislature, this were the main points I came across
The quality mandate extends to those presenting the training. The training can only be presented by “trainers or educators with knowledge and expertise” in preventing harassment, discrimination, and retaliation.
Now the question arises Would classroom training by someone who has done a significant amount of harassment training but who has no practical experience preventing harassment meet the requirement to have the training conducted by those with “knowledge and expertise” in preventing harassment, discrimination, and retaliation? Although not entirely certain, the answer will likely be “no.” Given this uncertainty, the most prudent approach is to use trainers and training organizations with both a solid training and harassment prevention background regardless of whether the training is done live or on-line.
