Due to the impact of COVID-19, safety training is more important than ever. Keeping students engaged can also be challenging, which is why we are offering Live Remote Instructor-Led Classes.
Students will be able to see and hear the instructor in real-time, raise their hand, ask questions, and interact with other students. All you need is a computer with a working speaker, microphone, and camera or a smart phone.
Our online program will have secure access and monitor participation during the course of the training to ensure that the student is present for the entire length of training.
Classes have limited seating, once you sign up you will receive additional information and the link to access the class. If you are looking to sign up for additional classes, we will add you to our email list and you will be notified as they become available.
Thank you,
The Training Academy
