The course helped me refresh my safety knowledge for the construction site. The content was easy to follow and the real life examples made it more relatable. I have not been in training for a while, so I appreciated how it was not too overwhelming. I feel more confident about handling workplace safety. I now know what to do in emergencies.
James Anderson
Honestly, I was not expecting much, but the course surprised me. The explanations were clear. The step by step breakdown of safety procedures were exactly what I wanted. The content and information were great. They even had proper images and visual content
John Taylor
This training was well-structured and practical for anyone working in a pharmacy. I took a Pharmacist training program and it covered medication safety and also patient communication. The examples were too real and the quizzes helped me learn better. It even met my continuing education requirements, so this course is a great choice.
Jennifer Taylor
I am a new caregiver and it taught me a lot about taking care of patients, emergency procedures and ways to handle sensitive situations. The sections on fall prevention and communication with residents were very helpful. It felt like it was designed with real caregivers in mind

I want to start by saying that the site functions well and the content is very informative. I passed my OSHA 30 and was able to print my certification immediately. It helped me join my work at the earliest notice.
Ashley Thompson
I liked the format of the course. It gave me practical knowledge and at a very basic level. I feel that it will not be overwhelming for someone that may have limited skills. So I think it is a great online training class that you can go for.

This is the second time that I have attained their training and I couldn’t be happier. The classes are self paced and I could complete it on my own time. The classes are also very easy to follow. The videos moreover made learning very easy.

Jane
The prep course was exactly what I needed to pass my exam on the first try. The practice tests matched the real settings so well that helped me boost my confidence to a new level. But I feel some resources were a little outdated. But overall I would say that it is worth every penny.
Jessica Martin
The OSHA 30 training course was fantastic. The modules were detailed and easy to follow. The interactive quizzes helped me understand the material easily. I would recommend this to anyone who needs compliance training.
Michael Johnson
Content was clear and applicable to real-world scenarios. The navigation between sections on mobile devices needs improvement as some buttons did not render properly. Fix the mobile layout, and this would be a perfect experience.
Juu Lee
I went to LearnTastic and I didn’t face any issues completing the course. But l felt the course could have been trimmed down a little without losing any important information. The process was easy to follow and I got my certificate on the same day, which is a big plus.

The materials were very well organized and I passed the test without any issues. The videos are engaging and help make the learning process enjoyable. I will definitely use this website again when it is time to renew. Good job!
