What changes the price

Body-art and state-specific courses cost more because they are longer. ProTrainings' California-compliant body-art course is $24.95 for just over two hours; Florida's Department of Health lists approved tattoo courses from $43 to $125 because the rule requires at least three hours, a 50-question exam and identity verification.

Bundles lower the per-course price. Bloodborne Cert sells bloodborne pathogens plus HIPAA together at 20% off the two prices, which suits dental offices, medical assistants and home health agencies that need both.

Group seats cost less than individual purchases everywhere. Ten or more seats bought at once from Bloodborne Cert are $12 each and come with email invitations and a completion dashboard.

Who should pay

OSHA requires employers to provide bloodborne pathogens training at no cost to the employee and during working hours (29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2)(i) and (g)(2)(vii)). If you have occupational exposure, your employer owes you the training. Students in clinical programs, independent contractors and self-employed artists usually pay for their own.

What "free" courses cost

Several sites let you take the course free and charge $20 to $35 for the certificate, or charge separately for a wallet card. Compare the price of the certificate, which is what your employer or board asks to see, rather than the price of the lessons.
