Training Discount

The Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Program, in conjunction with the Hazardous Materials Training and Research Institute (HMTRI), is pleased to offer up to 50% off the regular training course price for currently registered students in the EHS Distance Learning Program and the Certificate Program at Scott Community College!

This discount also applies to students who have graduated from SCC or will graduate from SCC for a period of six months after graduation. This not only benefits you personally but this incentive can be beneficial for your employer as well – if the course is paid by your employer, they save money.

For future employment opportunities, this can be a selling point for you when you become employed. Your training will cost the employer less than what is normally anticipated.
