During enrollment, students will have the option to select either Proctored or Non-Proctored training. The Non-Proctored version is intended for all workers who don’t require Proctored training. The Proctored course was designed to comply with specific local laws. For example: Workers in New York City may require the Proctored version to comply with Local Law 196.
Biometrics for Proctored Courses
During enrollment, if you choose to take the Proctored version of the course due to a local law requirement, you’ll be enrolled in an Actively Proctored course where you’ll be required to activate the Voice Authentication System:
- A Voice Verification box will appear on-screen and will ask you to call: (888) 676-4656.
- Once you call, you’ll be asked to enter the 4-digit PIN you see on-screen.
- During your first call, you must follow the instructions given and repeat a series of 6-digit codes. Once done, you’ll receive a confirmation and may hang up. Your voice authentication is now ready. Click the ‘Continue’ button on your computer. You may now proceed to the first course, ‘OSHA Outreach Training Orientation’.
