Yes and no. Formally we do not offer train-the-trainer classes because honestly we don’t want the liability and because most of the time the “trainers” who finish such a class really don’t know what they are doing.
With that said we often do help some of our really good customers with developing internal systems for training their staff on common items like HazCom, respirators, lock out/ tag out and even forklift operations. We can develop site specific course materials for your training or we can assist you in purchasing third party courses if they fit your needs.
Afterwards one of our consultants will work with your internal trainer to co-teach a class and to become proficient on the material. If and only if your internal trainers are effective will we provide a “trainer certificate”.
Some of our courses are, some are not, and some are in the process of being developed. As you can imagine developing our extensive course catalog into world-class online training is very time consuming task. The best thing to do is to visit www.safetylinks.biz to view our course catalog. Also if there's something that we have not developed, you can also view our 360 training portal.
In addition we offer all of our courses as instructor lead "webinars". This means we can offer the same great training at the same great price and there is no travel expenses! Contact us for more information.
All of our training programs can be customized. Especially for onsite classes, you can expect a call from your trainer before the class. This call helps us determine how we can further enhance the program by including customer specific pictures, examples, and even company specific procedures into the training session.
Some of the courses we provide have government mandated expiration dates. For example, FDOT requires retraining for Maintenance of Traffic every 4 years. In addition, various OSHA regulations require varying retaining terms typically ranging from 1 to 3 years. Each course is different however and many of our courses do not expire. It is best to view the specific course page for expiration information.

Once your company implements an effective safety program you will be entitled to this discount. If you are not already doing so, we will assist you in this matter.
| 90% of the training we do is offered at customer sites. We typically have a minimum of 10 people per class to do onsite classes however in emergencies we can offer a flat rate class. For example, let’s say you need confined space for 4 people. With a minimum of 10 people, the list cost would be around $800 for the class. In this case though we can offer a flat rate class plus $10.00 per person for the handout and certificate. So the total cost to you would be just over $400. This could save you several hundred dollars! |
There are no travel costs for services and courses we offer in the Metro Orlando area or around 50 miles from area code 32811. This typically includes Orange County, Seminole County, Osceola County and most of Lake County.
Obviously for services and courses offered at greater distances we incur additional travel expenses. With that said we often pass through the travel costs including flights, hotels, mileage (IRS rate), tolls, per diem, and travel time. Another option for great training is using our webinar technology.

Typically governmental agencies including OSHA do not approve courses (or anything else for that matter). For that reason it is vital that the courses you take are developed and presented by qualified and experienced individuals. After all, the credibility of your training, and more importantly the effectiveness of your training rest in the hands of your training provider. Here are a few questions you can ask your training provider. What are their academic qualifications to develop and present such classes? Are they board certified in their field? How long have they been teaching this particular class? Can they provide you with references? To view Safety Links history and qualification "click here". We dare to compare our track record with any other training provider!
