National Safety Council & Summit Training Source Partner to Offer Online Training
The National Safety Council has partnered with Summit Training Source to deliver an interactive online training curriculum. NSC will offer Summit’s online OSHA 10- and 30- hour training for general industry and construction, as well as Summit’s entire library of interactive online compliance training courses.
“The online curriculum offered by Summit complements our existing classroom and print content, enabling us to now offer a full range of courses, delivered through different methods, that better meet the needs of our members and customers,” said Janet Froetscher, NSC president and CEO.
Summit also will develop new online training curriculum for NSC, as well as convert current NSC training content to a web-based format. Benefits of online training include 24/7 global availability, self-paced learning, and cost savings through a reduction in travel expenses and training time.
