In the past when we have had some funny or suspect listings we have 
called the provider.

IMO, we need to just set some written rules about trainings that are 
published and visibly obvious:

1. Must provide direct link to corporate website
2. Must provide direct link to training
3. Must provide contact phone number
4. Must provide direct link to schedule
