  • Instructors who still work in the field: mechanics, supervisors, inspectors and a CRSP safety professional
  • Practical preparation for TSSA exams — including how to find answers quickly in the Acts, regulations and codes
  • Classes at our Markham centre, with online options for the Safety Seminar, EDM-F and continuing education, and on-site training at your workplace
  • Payment plans available for every course
