Clear answers before enrollment.
SUS0102 is framed as the online instructional portion and does not claim to replace employer-led hands-on training or workplace evaluation.

No. Learners must still complete employer-led hands-on training, equipment-specific instruction, workplace-specific instruction, and performance evaluation before independent operation.
What does the certificate show?
It shows the learner completed the online instructional portion of the course and is ready to proceed to the required hands-on training and employer evaluation process.
Does the course include a final exam?
Yes. The course includes chapter knowledge checks and a final exam to help confirm understanding before the Certificate of Completion is issued.
