Online HSE courses are ideal when employees need theory, review, and a documented knowledge test without having to travel or wait.
Theory Online – Practice in the Workplace
For courses that require hands-on training, this can often be completed at your own workplace with a qualified mentor. This could be a colleague, friend, or business partner with the necessary expertise. The mentor demonstrates, you practice, and your employer ensures that the training is adequate and properly documented. See the course page for the requirements that apply to your course.
The mentor must have the necessary expertise to perform the tasks safely and use the equipment properly. The person does not need to have taken our course.
In a nutshell: Online courses are easy for theory. Practical skills and local procedures must be completed on the job when the task requires it.

Working with machinery, work equipment, fall protection, scaffolding, first aid, and other high-risk tasks may require hands-on experience, practice, or training on the specific equipment. The course certificate documents the theory—not skills that have not been tested.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is online HSE training legal?
It depends on the competency requirements. Theory can often be covered online. If the assignment requires practical skills, hands-on training or practice must be included as well.
Is the course certificate sufficient for an inspection?
It serves as documentation of completed training. The employer must also be able to provide evidence of a risk assessment, on-site training, and practical experience when required.
