What Is Included in This Course?

1. Why take online training? What are the advantages?

Training online will reduce costs in both training and compliance. Employees can be trained at the most convenient time without the need to schedule classes or waste time by travelling to classrooms.

Yes. We offer many online training courses that lead to certification. The content and learning are much the same as taking a course in person, only you get to have it at your convenience and on your schedule. Please refer to the specific course pages for more details on certification.

Not at all! While we offer training for compliance with different regulations, we also offer a variety of safety courses, including many that are specific to certain equipment (forklift, aerial lift, confined spaces, etc.) and to specific industries (e.g. health care).

We would be interested in speaking with you! ASI offers our clientele customized training in both online format as well as in person. If your organization requires ongoing training for new and existing staff on a specific subject, we can work with you to develop an online course that you can use repeatedly and reap the cost benefits.
