Who should take this course? / Overview

In addition to taking the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER Online, HazMat Student also offers a version that includes 32 hours of online training coupled with 8 hours of classroom training. It is really two classes combined, one online and one in a classroom environment.

In the classroom portion, students receive hands-on training during the final 8 hours of their HAZWOPER 40 hour training certification. OSHA requires workers to be adequately trained to use specialized equipment in a training environment before actually having to use it in a hazardous work environment. This session introduces students to examples of this type of equipment and allows them to practice with it.

This version of the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER Training Course may still need to be followed up with on-site specific equipment training because the equipment that is used during the instruction for our classroom training may not be the exact equipment the employee will be using as part of their job function. For this reason many users opt to take the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER Online course, which is entirely online, and then if needed just get familiar with the equipment provided by their facility.

We are always working to add new locations across the United States for students to take the hands-on portion of their HAZWOPER 40 hour training. We do this through an affiliate partnership with other training providers, but are very selective in whom we partner with to ensure the highest quality training.

Some students prefer to get the 8-hour hands-on training locally through another training provider, or even through their employer. For those students, we offer an Online 32 Hour HAZWOPER course to combine with the hands-on portion. In some cases, when another training provider does not issue a HAZWOPER 40 hour training certification, we may be able to do so. However, this is only done when students who have taken the 32 hours of online training are able to provide sufficient proof of taking the hands-on portion.

While 40 hour HAZWOPER training may seem a demanding requirement, the 32-hour online course matched with an 8-hour classroom portion combines flexibility and face-to-face attention. This HAZWOPER 40 hour training course is straight-forward, offers convenient test taking and meets federal OSHA requirements.
