[Reasons why ImSafe's Web Course is chosen]
◆ Reason 1: No need to go to a venue with a Web course
Many traditional courses were held in central areas of large cities, and it is a fact that many people found the time and transportation costs to commute to the venue wasteful, or were anxious about the risk of infection in large venues.
The advantage of being able to take the course at your company or home without having to go to a venue, and the reduced burden on participants, are reasons why ImSafe is chosen. Since it is an online course, it has a live feel, and unlike e-learning where you study alone, there is a lot of communication with the instructor, so you won't get sleepy.
◆ Reason 2: Participatory course with many on-site examples
Our parent company provides consulting services by occupational safety and health consultants, professional engineers, and other specialists, offers safety and health education materials, and dispatches instructors. It is not uncommon for our company to have been involved in the safety and health teaching materials you have used and the courses you have attended. And we are currently consulting for many companies. Based on the idea that "the ultimate goal of consulting is human resource development," we have thoroughly conducted on-site education. We offer a curriculum that allows you to understand why such methods and ideas are necessary on-site, incorporating examples of incidents and improvement cases that occurred on-site. The ability to communicate online with professional instructors and the popularity of participatory courses with quizzes to deepen understanding are also reasons for its popularity.
◆ Reason 3: Easy application and quick certificate issuance
Applying is very easy. The certificate of completion will be sent as a PDF attachment via email within approximately 3 business days. Even if you encounter PC trouble on the day and cannot attend the lecture, you can reschedule to another day, so you can rest assured.
◆ Reason 4: Unlimited rescheduling if you cannot attend
Basically, you are requested to book a date you can definitely attend. However, if you are unable to attend the scheduled course date due to unavoidable circumstances after payment, If you contact us via the "Inquiry Form" at the bottom of our website before the course start time, you can reschedule for free any number of times (unlimited).
