 CONSIDERATIONS:

a. If your work or future work requires you to complete any form of training, be sure to check with the company whether or not they require a practical component as part of your training. All of our Online Courses will meet Provincial and National Legislation however some industries or companies may have “in-house” requirements which cannot be fulfilled through Online Training.

b. If your employer / company requires a practical / hands-on experience component you have two options:

i. To complete the Online Training and then be evaluated by a certified trainer in your facility / company or independently. (We strongly recommend this approach.)

ii. To complete your training in house at Alpha Safety Ltd in Fort St John where our in-class instructors can aid you in the practical application.
