Training Solutions That Elevate Skills & Safety
Industry-specific training that's designed for the realities of your operations and regulatory environment. We help streamline training and reduce knowledge gaps so your team can focus on what counts: providing reliable and efficient service.
Industrial Maintenance & Turnaround Services
Critical to manufacturing and heavy industry, industrial maintenance and turnaround services keep plants running by handling everything from routine repairs and maintenance to full shutdown overhauls. If minimizing downtime in high-risk environments wasn't difficult enough, navigating skilled labor shortages while rapidly scaling teams for short-term engagements poses a constant challenge.
To ensure clients can bring production back online quickly, it's essential to build skilled teams that can diagnose and service equipment efficiently. With Certus, you can streamline onboarding and standardize training to reduce safety incidents, improve reliability and ensure every job is done right.
Our training solutions include:
- Technical Skills Training — Reduce service errors and minimize downtime with courses on electrical and mechanical troubleshooting and maintenance for critical industrial systems and equipment.
- Safety & Compliance — Decrease safety incidents in high-risk industrial environments by training employees on OSHA regulations, lockout/tagout (LOTO), confined space safety and hazard communication.
- Workforce Development — Accelerate employee development with a comprehensive training program. Create paths for new hires to become licensed in their trades and for field supervisors to grow as leaders.
Environmental Services & Waste Management
Environmental and waste management services are essential to community health and corporate compliance, ensuring industrial waste and byproducts are disposed of in accordance with government regulations. But operating distributed teams and large vehicle fleets can be a challenge — especially when you need to stay on top of an ever-changing regulatory environment.
To be certain that employees understand how to comply with federal and state regulations, regular in-depth training is key. Providing deep expertise in safety and compliance training, Certus offers a streamlined solution to upskill your team. Whether it's OSHA standards, HAZMAT training, fleet management or driver safety, your team will be prepared to provide reliable service across the industrial sector.
Our training solutions include:
- Workplace Safety — Protect employees from injuries with training on industrial safety best practices, confined space safety, hazard communication and OSHA compliance.
- Hazardous Materials Handling — Train employees to safely handle industrial waste with 8-hour, 24-hour and 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training.
- Driver Safety & Fleet Management — Keep drivers safe and optimize fleet performance with courses on fleet safety, defensive driving, hazardous materials transportation and Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for Class A and Class B CDLs.
Hazardous Materials & Specialty Cleaning
Hazardous materials are prevalent throughout the industrial sector and must be properly disposed of to protect the environment and comply with state and federal regulations. To make sure this is done correctly, companies rely on hazardous materials and specialty cleaning services with the skills, equipment and expertise to safely handle these dangerous substances.
With the significant risk involved in cleaning up and transporting hazardous materials, thorough safety and compliance training is critical. Certus ensures your teams understand correct procedures for hazardous waste handling and disposal, enhancing employee and community safety and compliance audit preparedness.
Our training solutions include:
- HAZMAT Compliance — Educate teams on safety regulations and compliance requirements with HAZWOPER training and courses on bloodborne pathogens and hazard communication standards.
- HAZMAT Transportation — Stay compliant with DOT regulations and reduce environmental contamination risks with training on how to safely transport hazardous materials.
- Workplace Safety — Create safer operations with fewer incidents by training employees on OSHA compliance, personal protective equipment (PPE), confined space safety and industrial safety best practices.
- Compliance Tracking — Improve audit readiness and streamline training administration by combining in-depth skills training with an intuitive LMS for clear certification visibility and simplified compliance tracking.
Data Center Operations
Powering the internet, AI and cloud computing, data centers are critical components to modern society. With rapid advances in technology demanding ever-greater computing requirements, the need for more and larger data centers continues to grow. While constructing these facilities is a massive undertaking, maintaining the electrical and HVAC systems they rely on can be an even greater challenge.
To ensure consistent uptime for the thousands of servers within each facility, data center operations teams need technicians with expert-level skills. Certus allows you to upskill teams to troubleshoot and maintain the complex electrical systems and critical cooling systems that data centers require.
Our training solutions include:
- Electrical Systems — Prevent downtime and increase energy efficiency with training on electrical equipment troubleshooting and maintenance, AC and DC equipment and controls, data transmission, power supplies and energy conservation.
- HVAC Systems — Keep servers and other critical equipment from overheating with HVAC training that includes system troubleshooting and maintenance, chilled water cooling, air handling systems, piping, hydraulics, compressors, condensers and cooling towers.
- Data Center Safety & Compliance — Reduce risk, enhance compliance audit readiness and protect employees from injury with OSHA safety training and Data Center Safety Awareness certification. Data Center Safety Awareness courses cover electrical safety, hazard awareness, control of hazardous energy, fire prevention, emergency procedures and more.
Recycling & Resource Recovery
Reduce, reuse, recycle — we all play a part, but recycling and resource recovery operations make it possible. To collect, sort and process recyclable materials, these companies depend on reliable machinery and well-trained teams.
With employees working around powerful equipment, spilled liquids, broken glass and shredded metal, in-depth onboarding and regular refresher training are essential. Certus enables your teams to effectively maintain critical equipment and stay safe on the job, increasing uptime with a reduced risk of accidents and injuries.
Our training solutions include:
- Equipment Troubleshooting & Maintenance — Keep conveyors, shredders, sorters, balers and other machines in optimal condition with advanced technical training to troubleshoot and maintain equipment.
- Workplace Safety — Reduce the risk of accidents and injuries throughout industrial recycling facilities. Train employees on OSHA regulations, material handling, forklift and powered industrial truck safety, fire safety and slip, trip and fall prevention.
- Workforce Development — Make sure everyone is on the same page with standardized training to level up your workforce and drive uniformity across facilities and operations.
Industrial Mechanical & Field Services
To minimize downtime and keep operations running smoothly, companies depend on mechanical and field service contractors for maintenance support and time-sensitive repairs. With work that can vary from day to day across multiple jobsites, contracting companies often struggle with service quality and consistency, leading to costly rework, contract penalties and client dissatisfaction.
But with training to enhance technical skills and develop strong leaders, contractors can elevate the quality of service they provide. With expertise in delivering training for field-based maintenance teams, Certus helps you increase employee knowledge and skills. This results in higher-quality work, safer teams and greater client satisfaction.
