Training That Reduces Risk and Keeps Projects on Time
Certus offers a comprehensive catalog of construction-focused courses enabling construction firms to create customized training plans tailored to specific roles or jobsite hazards. Strengthen workforce capability while supporting alignment with OSHA standards and reducing project risk.
Commercial Construction
Commercial construction demands tight coordination across trades, strict regulatory compliance and relentless schedule pressure. General contractors must keep every jobsite safe, compliant and moving forward.
Managing OSHA requirements, subcontractor safety and rapid onboarding takes more than paperwork. It requires consistent, structured training that reduces risk and strengthens field leadership. With Certus, your teams stay safer, better aligned with OSHA construction standards and on schedule without costly disruptions.
Our training solutions include:
- OSHA 10- and 30-Hour Outreach Training & Safety Programs — Reduce violations and injuries with OSHA-authorized 10- and 30-hour Outreach training, plus jobsite safety courses covering fall protection, PPE use, excavation and trench safety and hazard communication.
- Supervisor Safety & Leadership Training — Strengthen job oversight with supervisor and competent person development, safety leadership, job hazard analysis and accountability practices.
- Workforce Onboarding & Skills Training — Accelerate new hire readiness with structured onboarding programs, official OSHA 10 and 30 cards, construction fundamentals and trade skill development.
Specialty Trade Contractors
Electrical, mechanical, HVAC and plumbing contractors work in complex environments where compliance and precision are essential. Ongoing licensing requirements and a limited skilled labor pool make it harder to stay productive while meeting safety standards. Tasks involving energized systems or heavy mechanical equipment increase both injury and liability exposure.
Certus helps specialty trade contractors strengthen technical capability, maintain required certifications and improve safety performance — minimizing downtime and reducing risk on the jobsite.
Our training solutions include:
- Electrical & Mechanical Technical Training — Ensure reliable performance with troubleshooting, system installation, controls, PLC fundamentals and preventive maintenance.
- Licensing Exam Prep & Continuing Education (CE) — Maintain compliance and keep technicians certified with structured exam preparation and CE programs.
- OSHA 10- and 30-Hour Training & Electrical Safety Programs — Offer OSHA-authorized 10- and 30-hour Outreach training along with electrical safety, arc flash and lockout/tagout courses designed to help crews align with applicable OSHA standards.
Heavy Civil and Infrastructure Construction
Road, bridge and utility projects rely on large crews and heavy equipment under strict DOT and OSHA oversight. Equipment incidents or compliance failures can quickly derail schedules and drive up costs. High turnover and constant exposure to equipment hazards make safety consistency difficult. Certus helps heavy civil contractors standardize equipment training, strengthen compliance and improve fleet safety — reducing risk while keeping projects on track.
Our training solutions include:
- Equipment & Heavy Machinery Safety Training — Prevent accidents and equipment damage with training on the safe operation of cranes, loaders, excavators and other heavy equipment.
- OSHA Training & Construction Safety Standards — Provide OSHA-authorized 10- and 30-hour Outreach training, along with hazard recognition and excavation safety programs that keep your team aligned with OSHA construction standards.
- Driver & Fleet Safety Training — Improve roadway safety and reduce liability with defensive driving training, DOT compliance and fleet risk reduction training.
Residential and Multi-Family Construction
Home builders and multi-family contractors must onboard workers quickly while maintaining consistent safety and quality across projects. Rapid hiring and shifting labor availability often create skill gaps that impact timelines.
Without standardized training, safety and workmanship vary from crew to crew. Certus provides structured onboarding and trade-focused safety training that builds capability and reinforces consistent jobsite performance.
Our training solutions include:
- OSHA 10- and 30-Hour Training & Compliance Courses — Deliver OSHA-authorized 10- and 30-hour Outreach training, along with fall protection, ladder safety and hazard communication programs tailored for residential job sites to help teams align with OSHA construction standards.
- Skilled Trades Technical Training — Core construction skills, blueprint reading, measurement and trade fundamentals to improve workmanship and productivity.
- Workforce Onboarding Training — Structured onboarding pathways that accelerate new-hire readiness and reduce early-stage errors.
Industrial Construction
Industrial construction — from power plants to energy facilities — involves complex systems and high-risk environments where mistakes are costly. Precision and strict safety controls are critical to avoid delays and serious incidents.
Building and commissioning these projects requires a workforce skilled in electrical and mechanical systems and compliant with licensing requirements. Certus delivers advanced technical and safety training that strengthens workforce readiness and reduces operational risk.
Our training solutions include:
- Electrical & Mechanical Technical Training — System installation, troubleshooting, controls, and maintenance training for complex industrial environments.
- OSHA 10- and 30-Hour Training & Industrial Safety Programs — Offer OSHA-authorized 10- and 30-hour Outreach training, along with lockout/tagout, electrical safety and hazard recognition courses designed to support alignment with OSHA standards for high-risk environments.
- Skilled Trades Licensing & Continuing Education — Certification preparation and CE programs to maintain compliance and workforce qualification.
