How long do I have access to the materials?

Who Needs OSHA 10-Hour Outreach Training for Construction?
The OSHA 10-Hour Construction Training course is designed for entry-level construction workers. For the purposes of this course, construction also includes demolition, renovation and building development.
If you want a more robust safety education, try our OSHA Outreach 30-Hour Construction course. That course may be a better choice if you are a site supervisor, manager or other senior-level employee.
Testing Requirements
The OSHA 10-Hour Outreach for Construction course includes nine lesson modules. Nearly 100 knowledge checkpoints help you master the course material. Each lesson module includes a 10-question quiz with questions randomly selected from a bank of 30 questions based on lesson topics.
You must earn a score of 70% or more to pass each end-of-module quiz. You have three chances to pass each quiz. If you fail an end-of-module quiz three times, you must register for the course again and start over.
After you complete all lessons, you must pass a final exam to finish the course. The final exam consists of 20 multiple-choice questions drawn from a bank of 60 possible questions. A score of 70% or more is required to pass the exam. You have three attempts to pass.
How long does it take to get my OSHA 10 card?
As soon as you finish our course, you can download and print a certificate of completion. The certificate acts as proof that you've completed an OSHA-authorized 10-hour training program. Your official DOL card will usually arrive by mail within 90 days.
Do OSHA cards ever expire?
OSHA cards never expire. However, your state, local jurisdiction or employer may require you to repeat your training. Some employers require retraining every five years. The date of issue for your DOL card is printed on the front.
Is this course valid in my state?
OSHA Outreach Training, including the 10-Hour Outreach for Construction course, covers federal safety regulations. The course covers nationwide standards that apply to every state.
How long does the course take?
This training program takes at least 10 hours to complete. You can study at your own pace to finish your OSHA 10 training.
However, under regulatory guidelines, students cannot study for more than 7.5 hours per day. Completing the 10-hour training program requires a minimum of two calendar days.
After spending 7.5 hours studying, students must take a required break of at least eight hours and cannot progress further until the next calendar day.
Is this course OSHA-Approved?
OSHA does not approve training programs or certify individuals. OSHA Education Center offers online OSHA Outreach Training in partnership with the University of South Florida, an OSHA-authorized provider.
If you complete this course, you qualify to receive an official OSHA 10 card from the U.S. Department of Labor.
How many attempts do I have to pass quizzes and the final exam?
Due to OSHA requirements, students taking a 10- or 30-hour OSHA Outreach course have up to three attempts to pass course tests, including each end-of-module quiz and the final exam. To successfully pass a quiz or the final exam, students need to score 70% or higher.
Unfortunately, students who do not achieve a passing score on a quiz or final exam after three tries must pay to enroll in a new course and restart their training.
