Blended Learning Training
What Is Blended Learning?
Blended Learning combines online theory with hands-on practical training. Because it moves at a faster pace, it works best for workers who have already completed one of our courses before. However, if you are new to the subject matter, we recommend our full Instructor Led course instead.
You can check our course calendar for upcoming practical dates.
All Standards Met
All Blended Learning courses are OH&S Compliant. They also follow Manufacturer Requirements and meet CSA, ISO, and ANSI Standards. So you can be confident your certification meets all Alberta workplace requirements.
