Web Based Training

Are the costs of travel preventing you from completing USDOT HazMat Employee & USEPA RCRA Training?

…I can help.

 

What is Web-Based Training?

Online HazMat Training and RCRA Training is your best option when you need to meet the training mandates of the USEPA and USDOT/PHMSA, but don’t have the time or resources for some of the more traditional training formats.  My webinars deliver the same high-quality training at a reasonable price and have the added advantage of no travel costs.  A computer with internet access and a few hours of time is all it takes and you can get back to work.

How Does Web-Based Training Work?


I currently offer Web-Based Training in several formats:

Public Webinar – These are regularly scheduled webinars for either HazMat Employees or Hazardous Waste Personnel.  Each take about three hours and are open to all who enroll.  Due to their open enrollment, these courses are more general in content and will not be site-specific.  Great for the seasoned professional who needs a refresher.

Site-Specific Webinar – Scheduled at your convenience and with content applicable to your facility.  I will work with you prior to the training to ensure it addresses the regulations applicable to your operations only (both Federal and State).  There is no limit to the number of attendees or locations that can be involved.  This option is great if you have several employees who are knowledgeable of the regulations but still require better-than-average training.  Best of all, attendees don’t suffer the expense and lost time of travel.

Scheduled Webinar – This webinar combines the best features of the Public Webinar and the Site-Specific Webinar.  If you’re satisfied with with the content of the Public Webinar but have many people needing training or a schedule conflict, then the Scheduled Webinar is for you.  This training will allow you to meet the training mandates of the USEPA and the USDOT/PHMSA at a time and date of your choosing.  Contact me and I’ll work with you to schedule the training for a time when you are able to assemble your employees.  There is no limit to the number of trainees or locations that may be included.

How much does Web-Based Training cost?

  • Site-Specific Webinar:  $999 for either HazMat Employee or Hazardous Waste Personnel training or $1,499 for both.
