Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to assign the courses right after purchasing them?

When you purchase eSafetyFirst, the course credits do not expire.

Is there a pricing difference between Group and Individual Training?

No. The price is the same for both methods of training.
The only difference between them is how the training system works.
