This course is designed to fill the gap in practical hands-on training that you may not find in other online courses. Upon completion, you will earn a certification for hands-on training that complies with 29 CFR 1910.120 and California Title 8, Section 5192. 

The total cost of the course is $450.00, with a $100.00 deposit needed to secure your spot in the hands-on class. The remaining balance of $350.00 must be paid to participate in the training and receive your completion certificate. 

During the course, you will be equipped with hazmat suits, engage in emergency response practices, perform field decontamination, create site plans, and work alongside a team. This practical experience is crucial for anyone tasked with HAZWOPER responsibilities.
