The first in Massachusetts to offer online hoisting continuing education! Also the easiest! Our state-approved hoisting continuing education courses are offered online through our sister-company, At Leisure Contractor Licensing.
Our custom built platform allows users to create a username and password so they may login at their leisure. Each time you logout, the course will save your spot, so the next time you login, you can resume from where you left off. Upon completing the course, a printable certificate becomes available; this gets submitted to the state alongside your renewal form. There are no exams, and the course can be viewed on any device, including tablets and smartphones. The courseware was designed to be extremely user-friendly; even the most computer illiterate users have boasted our platform to be simple. Plus, we are here for support by phone and via email.
Available courses: 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 4F, 4G
-Unparalleled User Experience-
Our custom-built platform helps take the monotony out of the equation. Video backgrounds let you watch the waves crash in the background, or choose from other video options such as in front of a fireplace, watching the aurora, or next to a waterfall.
-Electronic Renewal Submission-
When it comes time to submit your renewal, navigating the state website is VERY difficult; so we did something about it. You may select to have us submit your hoisting renewal on your behalf through our easy-to-use electronic renewal submission service. Your renewal will be reviewed by us twice to help avoid any mistakes that could lead to your renewal being denied. No scanner needed! You can simply use the camera on your smartphone to upload your Driver's License and DOT images. This service is offered for a $5 processing fee.
-Discounted DOT Medical Certificates-
Now you can renew your DOT Medical Certificate at the rock bottom price of $85 when you sign up for our online hoisting courses. Choose from several locations across the state, and schedule your appointment right on our site. You may cancel/reschedule your appointment if necessary.
-Optional Audio Narration-
No computer voice here ... our audio narrations were recorded by a professional voice in a studio. When you choose to listen to the audio, the course modules will automatically advance, so you can listen through a set of headphones while you walk the dog!
-Refund Policy-
If you decide the online course is not the right option for you, we will provide you a full refund as long as you have not completed the course.
