4 modules, 12 lessons

Module 1

The Floor

What a warehouse does to the people who work in it, why housekeeping is a hazard control rather than tidiness, and what the markings and the kit are actually for.

Optional

Certificate of Completion

Pass the final exam and you can add a certificate for $9.90. It carries a unique ID and a public verification page an employer can check without going through you. The course stays free either way.

It states what you completed — not a licence, and not a substitute for the hands-on training and evaluation your employer provides.

Before you start

What this course is.

The classroom half — the part you can finish on your own, before you touch a machine. Your employer does the rest.

Is this a licence?
No. This course covers the classroom portion of training and we issue a Certificate of Completion. Hands-on practice and the workplace evaluation stay with your employer, on the equipment and site you will actually operate.
Do I have to pay?
The course is free — every lesson, every quiz and the final exam. The certificate of completion is $9.90 and entirely optional.
How long does it take?
4 modules and 12 lessons, taken at your own pace. Most people finish in four to six hours across a few sittings. Your place is saved.
What if I fail the exam?
Take it again. Retakes are unlimited and free, and every explanation stays available while you study.
