Go to the OSHAcademy Store to pay for the course. Tip: You will save over 50% in course fees if you enroll in a Professional Development Certificate Program.

You may leave the training within any module at any time. Just come back to this course outline page and resume studying where you left off.
- Complete each module quiz. The quiz link is at the bottom of each module page. Each quiz is 5-10 questions. When you submit the quiz, a new web page will load with instant feedback on your answers. After you complete the quiz, start on the next module. There is no need to wait! No hurry either. You are in control of the pace of learning. Remember, if you have questions as you study, just send me an email.
- Complete and submit the final course exam. Final exams are 25 questions. To meet OSHA requirements, you may have three attempts to pass the course final exam with at least a 70% score. Most final exam questions are derived from module quizzes. Study each quiz, and you will easily pass the exam.
