- How much does it cost?
- $18 per person, including the course, test retakes and the certificate. Employers buying for staff pay $18 a seat for 1 to 4 people, $15 for 5 to 9, $12 for 10 to 49 and $10 for 50 or more.
- Is this OSHA approved?
- OSHA does not approve or accredit bloodborne pathogens training providers. The standard sets the required content and says the trainer must be knowledgeable in the subject. This course covers training elements (A) through (M) of 1910.1030(g)(2)(vii), and the certificate lists them. The standard also requires site-specific instruction and a chance to ask a knowledgeable person questions during training; OSHA has said a phone line satisfies that. Employers usually provide both. Acceptance is your employer's decision.
- How long is the certificate valid?
- OSHA requires retraining at least annually. The certificate shows a retrain-by date 12 months after completion, and we email you 30 days before it.
- How long does it take?
- About an hour: nine narrated lessons, then a 20-question test. You can stop and resume.
- Can I finish on my phone?
- Yes. Progress saves as you go.
- Is the course available in Spanish?
- Yes. Choose English or Spanish when you start. The narration, slides and test are fully in Spanish, and you can switch languages before you take the test. The certificate is issued in English for your employer and states that training was in Spanish.
- Is the course available in Amharic?
- Yes. Choose Amharic (አማርኛ) when you start. The narration, slides and test are in Amharic, and you can switch languages before you take the test. The certificate is issued in English and states that training was in Amharic. Enter your name in Latin letters, since it is printed on the English certificate.
- Can I slow down or speed up the narration?
- Yes. Set the narration speed from 0.5× to 2× on any slide. The setting stays in place for the rest of the course on that device, and a written transcript is available for every slide.
- What if I fail the test?
- Retake it as many times as you need at no extra cost. Questions are drawn at random each time. 80% passes.
- How does my employer verify it?
- Every certificate has a verification number and QR code. Anyone can confirm it at bloodbornecert.com/verify.
- I lost my certificate.
- Sign in and download it again from your account. It is also in your email.
- My name is wrong on the certificate.
- Sign in, open Your training, and use "Correct the name on this certificate." Adding a middle or last name or fixing a typo is reissued right away with the same completion date. Other changes go to support for review.
- Refunds
- Full refund within 14 days of purchase if you have not started the test. If you paid after passing, a refund within 14 days revokes the certificate. For employer seats, any seat not yet redeemed is refundable within 14 days of purchase. Request one from the support page.
- Does this replace my employer's exposure control plan?
- No. The plan is site-specific and the employer must maintain it, along with hepatitis B vaccination, post-exposure follow-up and training records. This course covers the general training the standard requires.
- I had an exposure at work. What do I do?
- Wash the area with soap and water, or flush eyes and mouth with water, then report it to your supervisor immediately. Post-exposure treatment is time-sensitive and your employer must arrange a medical evaluation at no cost to you. If you have questions afterward, use the support form and a medical provider will respond.
