About This Course
Arc-Ready: Practical Electrical Safety Training (For Electrical Workers) is an online electrical safety training course aligned with CSA Z462:24 (Workplace Electrical Safety). It was written by working electricians who translate the standard into plain language you can use on the job, not generic theory. The course walks the same hazard-assessment process a qualified person follows in the field: deciding whether to work the job dead or justify energized work, assessing shock and arc-flash risk, selecting the right PPE and tools, isolating and verifying an electrically safe work condition, and planning for emergencies. You finish with a knowledge assessment and a certificate of completion that supports your organization's electrical safety program.
Arc-Ready™ is an independent course. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or certified by CSA Group. "CSA" and "CSA Z462" are referenced for descriptive purposes only.

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
