Frequently Asked Questions

Will this class "certify" me for OSHA/DOT Requirements?

The certificates provided in our interactive training are "completion certificates," not "training certificates." We (JJ Keller) can't certify a student's training. Verifying competence, training, and understanding remains the domain of the student's supervisor or responsible company. To be clear, no online interactive training provider can "certify" a student as having been trained.

Nearly all OSHA regulated training requires site- and function-specific training that cannot be accomplished via online training. Only the student's competent supervisor or responsible party is able to provide that.

Any questions, misunderstandings, or conflicts that you may have you're your employer's rules should be directed to your employer. Although many of J. J. Keller's courses are designed to meet federal regulations, it is your employer's responsibility to make sure they are meeting state and local regulations that could be more stringent.
