What is VILT? VILT is the acronym for Virtual Instructor Led Training.
As we continue to work together and practice “Physical (Social) Distancing”, we are offering this course through our virtual classroom. Until restrictions are lifted and we can get back into the training centre, our certified instructors will deliver the complete course live online.
Our instructors are trained and certified by Fusion Safety Services, a BCCSA Authorized Training Provider. This fall protection course has been approved and accepted as a NCSO compulsory course.
This interactive 7-hour course aligns with Alberta legislation, but for those working in British Columbia, BC regulations are discussed as it pertains to fall protection. It includes an instructor led PowerPoint presentation, practical exercises, class discussions, videos, written knowledge test and practical exam.
