Getting certified is an important step towards getting out and working on the jobsite in a safe and legal manner. Alongside our many in-person courses available which allow you to develop your knowledge with key machinery across industries like forklifts, excavators and more we also have a database of courses for you to improve your skills and awareness on the jobsite. Whether it’s pallet jacks, scissor lifts or even street sweeper equipment, our WorkSafeBC & Alberta Ministry of Labour compliant online courses have everything you need to bolster your skills as an equipment operator or owner.

These courses are great tools to use alongside your qualifications to better improve workplace efficiency, safety, and success and importantly, they’re provincially compliant with recommendations from Worksafe BC & Ministry of Labour Alberta. A great thing about our online courses is that you don’t have to attend a classroom just to learn these skills, saving you both on costs and headaches! Some of the reasons our online training can help are…

1. Convenience – No need to wait around for an instructor to be free or a lesson to open. You get to complete your modules on your timing wherever you are!
2. Accessibility – It may not be easy to get to our branches for in-person training, in this case, online training allows you to have on travel and to complete what you can where you are.
3. Cost-Effective – In many cases, our online courses are cheaper than taking in-person sections as you won’t have to travel and in cases book accommodation.
4. Course Variety - Many of the courses offered on our online platform are available only online, for some equipment we may not be able to provide in-person classes, which is what our online platform makes up for.
5. Self-Paced – go at your own pace, need to pause for a second? No need to put your hand up like in a classroom, you can zip through or slow down the pace of your learning as it suits you.

Not in Canada? Not a problem.

We also have courses designed for US regulations and practices. With over 1,000 in total that are important to understanding safe and efficient jobsite practice, these courses are centered around safety, electrical knowledge, and other skills useful for completing tasks with the right know-how.
