Course catalog

Training for the role you have been handed.

Each course is built around one duty or one standard, so you learn what the job actually asks of you.

All courses

Assigned Roles

Training for the worker who is handed a specific duty on site: the fire watch, the attendant, the signal person.

Competent Person

Knowledge training for the person an employer designates under a specific OSHA standard.

Planning & Specialty

Requirements set by general contractors, project owners, and state plans rather than a single federal standard.

Standards covered

Built on the standard, cited on the certificate.

Every course names the regulation or code it follows, and the same citation is printed on the certificate.

Workforce training

One record of your whole crew's training.

From a ten-person crew to a multi-state contractor, the model is the same: assign training, see who is current, and pull the proof when someone asks for it.

See how workforce training works
  • Enroll a crew in one order. Buy the courses your people need and assign them by email.
  • See status by worker and by course. Progress, exam results, and completion dates in one place.
  • Be ready when someone asks. Records for an OSHA inspection, an insurer, or a general contractor's prequalification package.
  • Verifiable by anyone. Every certificate carries an ID and QR code a GC can check without calling you.

Questions

Before you enroll.

Is this OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 training?

No. OSHA 10-hour and 30-hour cards are issued only through the OSHA Outreach Training Program, and we are not part of it. Our courses cover specific roles and standards, such as fire watch, confined space attendant, and excavation competent person, and document that training with a certificate of completion. Many workers hold both.

Will my employer accept the certificate?

Every certificate shows the course, contact hours, completion date, the standard covered, and a unique ID with a QR code, so an employer or general contractor can confirm it in seconds. Acceptance is always the employer's call. If a site requires a specific provider or a hands-on evaluation, check with them first.

Does a competent person course make me a competent person?

Not by itself. Under 29 CFR 1926.32(f), a competent person is someone who can identify existing and predictable hazards and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. Your employer makes that designation. Our courses give you the knowledge, and the record to show for it.

How do the final exams work?

Each course ends with a timed exam drawn from a question bank, so no two attempts are the same. Retakes are included in the course price. Your certificate is issued the moment you pass.

Can I train a whole crew?

Yes. Employers can buy courses for a group of workers and track who has completed what. Contact us for team pricing.
