What does online training do for me?
Previously, training for written certification exams meant sitting in a classroom for five days, shutting down production, running through concepts and regulations too quickly, all at a cost of several thousand dollars.  
Online training allows operators to learn at their own pace and at times convenient to them, receive comprehensive training that has been audited by independent subject matter experts to ensure quality and adherence to industry standards, spend as much or as little time as they need on topics based on individual skill levels, and help cut training costs virtually in half.
