Questions before you sign up
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Each learner gets a certificate of completion, and their score and completion date stay on file for your training records.
Does this course replace hands-on training?
No. Online courses refresh knowledge and keep a record of it. Operators still need site-specific training, a hands-on practical evaluation and their employer’s authorization. A certificate of completion isn’t a licence or proof of competency. See our training disclaimer.
How long does it take, and how long do I have access?
About 20 minutes, self-paced. Your progress saves, so you can stop and pick up where you left off. You get lifetime access.
What do I need to pass?
There is a 10-question knowledge check at the end. You need 80% to pass, and you can review your answers and try again.
Can I buy it for my crew?
Yes. Set the number of learners and add the course to your cart. Each person gets their own login and certificate. Team pricing applies automatically: 10% off at 5 seats, 20% off at 20 seats and 30% off at 50 or more seats. Need an invoice? Contact us.
What devices work?
