Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Will taking OSHA courses make me a 'Competent Person?'

Answer:

No, the OSHA courses offered through the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers will not qualify a student as a "Competent Person."  The "Competent Person" can only be selected or assigned by a person's employer. Please see the appropriate OSHA standard to determine what training, experience, and approvals are required to be a "Competent Person."
