The problem may be having a copy for your records. You must be able to prove that you took the course by providing a copy of it. Be sure you get a copy and scan it in to your files on your computer hard drive or email it to yourself and keep that email.
A company may pay for your course as it is a requirement to work there. This normally doesn't happen unless you have additional skill sets that are in high demand.
If you're looking at entry level work that requires the HAZWOPER (which is great!), then you'll probably be responsible for paying for it.
We are offering the 40 Hour HAZWOPER for $310 with the discount code "40mm40hr" for a limited time.
