What standards are referenced in the course?
This course is aligned with OPITO's International Minimum Industry Safety Training (IMIST) Further Standard (5313). As a global standard, the course is not written to meet any specific regional legislation but references industry best practices and standard operating procedures throughout.
Is there an assessment?
The course consists of nine mandatory units, each unit starts with an optional pre-assessment that checks existing knowledge. At the end of the pre-assessment, you will have either completed the unit or you will be presented with the content associated with the identified knowledge gaps. After this content review, an assessment featuring a new set of questions for the outstanding knowledge gaps, will be presented for completion. Each unit has a pass mark of 100% with unlimited attempts to complete. Once a unit is complete, the next unit will be unlocked. Completion of all nine units will generate your IMIST-F OPITO certificate automatically. The certificate is valid for four years, after which you will need to sit the course again to refresh your knowledge and earn a new certificate.
