Attendance Requirement
If you sign up for this training and do not attend any scheduled portion of the class, including the classroom or hands-on portion, you will be required to repeat the initial 16-hour classroom training before attending a future hands-on session, per L&I requirements.
Completion of both the classroom and hands-on portions is required.
Important
Hands-on sessions are limited to 10 students per class due to Department-required instructor-to-student ratios. Members must select one primary hands-on date and one secondary hands-on date. If the primary selection is full, the member will be assigned to the secondary choice.
This training is part of an active state certification program. While enforcement has been delayed, members are strongly encouraged to complete training now to ensure compliance when enforcement begins.
