How do we do it?

Instructor Led Online Training

Our fully qualified instructors run customised online training, covering a range of topics and skills. Courses can run from two to seven hours, depending on the knowledge required. Our classes have a maximum of 12 attendees, so we can give our full attention to each and every one. We also run webinars, which are free and can be accessed through our website. They cover a range of topics, including safe work practices, chemical safety training, hazardous chemicals in the workplace, and hazard communication.

eLearning

At Chemwatch, we pride ourselves on our in-depth and extensive eLearning courses. Our programs are constantly evolving, ensuring we are teaching and sharing the most accurate and up-to-date content. Our courses are self-paced and on completion, you will be provided with a certificate, which can help you with your ISO9001 accreditation for Professional Development at your organisation. The courses cover a wide range of suitability: from organisations who have less than 50 SDS to those who have thousands. Each application can be completed in a single sitting—the approximate time taken is shown on the first slide—and can be paused and continued at any time. We cover training across multiple applications:

  • AuthorITe
  • D-gen
  • SiSot
  • Approvals
  • Credo
  • Backpack
  • GoldFFX
  • Chemeritus
