These courses greatly helped in my ability to study and pass the Chemical Hygiene Officer exam, so I just wanted to take a moment to thank you.

Sara LaTorra

Chemistry Lab Coordinator, Springfield College

I helped to write a student laboratory safety manual as well as biology safety guidelines for my college. None of this would have happened without you!

Heather Townsend, Ph.D.

Professor of Biology, Community College of Rhode Island

I loved how interactive it was, especially the "action ideas" to improve CHP and safety programs in our labs. I thought the course was great & I truly feel like I learned so much.
