Yes, all of our courses offer a certificate upon course completion.
Once you have completed a course, you are able to download, save or print a certificate of completion from your student transcript. Certificates are created in a PDF format. If you do not see a print certificate it may because the invoice has not been paid in full.

Our instructors are eager to hear from you, with good or bad reviews and yes, we have changed material based upon student input. After you have completed a course, you can always continue your dialogue with the instructor or ask a question via email.
If you want to see your final exam as graded, go to my items > test history.
If it is not there, you may not have saved each answer individually. Please retake the exam.
Your Final Quiz session may have timed-out. In that case the instructor needs to release the grade. Email us with your name, course number and explaining the situation.
You may not have pressed the ‘Finished’ button when you were finished with the Final Quiz. In that case the clock keeps running and for sure you are timed out. We need to stop the timer and evaluate the grade. Email us with your name, course number and explaining the situation.
You may have inadvertently moved your browser away from the quiz to look something up.
This can close your quiz session and mark it as incomplete or you ran out of the 90 minute time period you are given. If you need to look something up while taking the exam open up a new window to do this. Most of the time if you try to relaunch the final exam you will notice that all of your answers are still saved and you can finish up the test. Make sure to click the “finish” button before you exit.

This may have something to do with your browser settings. You should try opening the course in another internet web browser. You can also try making sure your flash is turned on and your pop-ups are enabled.
If that does not work email us your username and we will reset the course for you.
If you receive an error message when trying to pay for a course call us at 1-877-674-2669 or email us the name of the student and the course you need them enrolled in and we will get them set up right away and send you the invoice.
Adobe has recently ended its support of flash player so all of our courses are now published in HTML5. Not only does HTML5 run on more devices, but it offers better security for our students, it’s faster, and it’s responsive for mobile channels.
However, if you are experiencing issues with your course you can try switching to a different web browser such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge and try launching your course again. If you are still having problems after switching browsers send us an email to studentwork@scm-safety.com and our remote instructors will help you out.

Below are a few courses we would recommend taking for starting a crime scene clean-up and disinfecting business.
First, I would suggest taking our OSHA Hazard Communication Course. This course is required for anyone working with chemicals and will teach you workplace procedures to follow for safe handling, health hazards associated with the chemicals, and proper storage techniques. Anyone working around chemicals are required to have this training per OSHA. This is a 2-hour course and costs $35.
You will also need training in Bloodborne Pathogens. OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen standard requires all individuals that may be exposed to infectious human bodily substances (blood, saliva, and other bodily fluids) undergo OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen training. The course is 2 hours long and costs $39.
Then, if you could potentially be the one to handle hazmat small-scale spills or need to know what to do in case there is one then I would recommend taking our First Responder Awareness w/Spill course. This will teach you what to do in case of a spill and how to clean it up. This is about 6- hour course and will cost $79.
Lastly, I would recommend taking our OSHA Respiratory Protection course if you will be wearing a respirator during any clean-ups. This course will cover how to select the best respirator for the job, how use each type of respirator and the limitations and capabilities of each respirator. This is about a 2-hour course and cost $25. You can come and go from each course as you need and will have 30-60 days to complete them and must pass the final exams with a 75% or higher. Once you do this you will receive your certifications immediately.
Our “How to Start a Commercial Cleaning and Disinfecting Business” blog can also give you additional information on what is required to start a cleaning business. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
No, you can take the training at any time and can come and go through the training at your own pace.
No, corporate accounts are free!
Just send us an email with your company name and we will get that set up right away for you so you can begin adding employees to your account, tracking their progress in the courses, running reports and access their certificates whenever you need.
