Safety Course Enrollment Update – Why IAQCert Introduced a Small Fee
For one year, IAQCert has offered our Safety courses completely free. Our goal was simple: to give as many professionals as possible access to critical knowledge about workplace safety practices across Canada and the United States.
It all began with our very first program, the Certified Confined Space Entry Technician (CCSET). This course set the foundation for our Safety & Compliance Series and quickly became a trusted training option across industries.
Over time, we added other essential courses like the Certified Canadian Safety Awareness Technician (CCSAT), Certified U.S. Safety Awareness Technician (CUSAT), and now the Certified European Safety Awareness Technician (CESAT).
This growth has been exciting — but it has also brought new challenges.
🚩 Why We Needed a Change
Unfortunately, many people outside our target regions and industries began enrolling in all of our free courses at once. This created extra manual work, especially since every certificate we issue includes:
- Personal verification
- A unique ID code
- Secure recordkeeping in our certificate database
Because each ID card is manually verified, our team invests time to make sure every credential remains trustworthy and authentic. Keeping this process 100% free became unsustainable.
💳 Introducing a Small Enrollment Fee
To maintain program quality and protect the value of your certificate, all Safety courses now include a $9.99 enrollment fee. This nominal fee covers:
- Manual certificate and ID verification
- Administrative processing
- Ensuring certificates are only issued to serious learners
We believe this keeps the courses accessible while also protecting the integrity of IAQCert credentials.
🎁 Good News for Technician Students
If you enroll in any of our Technician Certification programs — such as but not limited to:
- Certified Green Building Technician (CGBT)
- Certified Mold Remediation Technician (CMRT)
- Certified Ventilation Inspection Technician (CVIT)
- Certified Indoor Air Quality Testing Technician (CIAQTT)
…you may request one Safety course of your choice free of charge. Simply contact IAQCert support after enrolling in a Technician course, and we’ll provide you access.
🔒 Protecting the Value of IAQCert Credentials
By making this change, we’re ensuring that IAQCert certificates remain:
- Trusted by employers and regulators
- Backed by secure verification
- Reserved for learners who truly need them for work and compliance
Your certificate is more than just a PDF — it’s a credential you can carry with confidence.
