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.
Backing and blind spot incidents account for over 25 percent of all vehicle collisions every year - this course is built entirely around closing that gap for summer students, new hires, and anyone who operates or rents a vehicle for company business.
It works through blind spot distances, internal and external blind spots, proper mirror positioning, and the newer blind spot monitoring technology available on modern vehicles.
It closes with the causes of backing collisions, pre-backing preparation, backing with a guide and proper hand signals, and parking lot exercises covering other common backing hazards.
