Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register multiple workers in a course?

Yes, a company can register up to four workers in an individual course. A separate registration form must be completed and submitted for each worker. You cannot put four names down on one registration form.

Hint: To avoid having to input your company information several times, when you have submitted one registration form select “back” and change the name of the worker to your second name and submit, and so on until finished with the registrations.

 

How do I know I am registered?

You will receive a confirmation by the same method you registered.

 

Will I receive a certificate?

A certificate of attendance is provided to participants.

What happens if I cannot make it to the course on delivery day?
