soliciting opinions on online osha training versus traditional classroom style perhaps i am a traditionalist. maybe i need to adapt more to the modern society in which we live. possibly i may be too biased since i am an osha trainer. as a 25 year eh&s professional, i simply can not accept the belief that online osha training can really replace instructor-led, classroom training. as i finished a 8 hour osha hazwoper refresher training in florida yesterday, i chatted with a few of the students (some of whom were coming for day 4 of the 40 hour class - also called internet dress out) about the other 32 hours of training that they received online. what they both told me is that they are required to sit through a total of 32 hours online and that after a few hours, they had finished the day 1 lesson and then spent the rest of the day moving the mouse to make it look like they were still online so they could reach the mandatory 10 hour day.
