The online skid steer course will involve reviewing the necessary information through a slideshow, then completing a multi choice "true or false" test. The trainee will then be required to complete a driver operator safety evaluation.

This will be done by someone who is currently certified to operate a skid steer. Please read the "How It Works"' 

The trainee will need to demonstrate their ability to operate the equipment in a safe and efficient manner where he/she will be put through a series of driving and operating exercises, including the safe operation of the Loader's attachment. Upon successful completion of the course the participant will receive a certificate of completion which certifies them for a period of 3 years, at which time they will have to be recertified to operate the equipment.  Your employee will now be OH&S and OSHA-compliant.

Please review some of our other Online Occupational Health and Safety Courses. Our online courses are great for remote areas such as Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta. Alberta has remote areas where it is difficult to find trainers. What better way then to bring the classroom to you.
