HAZWOPER Train-the-Trainer Training

  HAZWOPER Train-the-Trainer Training 

Our renowned course provides training to become a HAZWOPER Trainer. Now offered through our Live Virtual Classroom and Real Classroom.

Here is how the Live Virtual Classroom works:

1. You need a computer with a webcam and microphone and, preferably, a videocamera or camera that can save up to 30minutes of video.  We recommend the RCA Small Woner.

2. You log onto our virtual classroom via Adobe Connect Pro.

3. You attend class!

On the screen, the instructor and all the participants can see and hear each other. The instructor, Richard Chinn, CET, discusses the protocols for HAZWOPER instruction and all the participants can see his desktop with the Powerpoint Display.

Later, participants give training presentations that they record and either play directly onto the shared desktop or upload to a secure webpage.

Course Cancellation Policy

Simply, WE DON'T CANCEL CLASSES!
