You set up a training profile before you pay. It asks for more than a normal checkout does - your employer, your role, an emergency contact - because this is a training record, not a shopping cart. It is the file an auditor asks to see, and it is why you can pull your certificate up years from now instead of hunting for a PDF in your email. Give yourself five minutes and do it once.

About the course
What this course covers.
This course satisfies Canada's requirement for the classroom portion of operator safety training, working through the vehicle itself first: safety equipment, seatbelts, airbags, and child-restraint (L.A.T.C.H.) systems.
It moves into weight distribution, vehicle maintenance, reading an ammeter and voltmeter, and conducting a post-trip inspection, then covers driving with loads and the hazardous materials rules that apply.
It closes with what to do when something goes wrong: reporting accidents and responding to emergency situations. On completion, the worker gets a certificate and an employer checklist for observing the principles learned on the road.
