The (NDSC) North Dakota Safety Council can now offer the Safety Essential courses required by Marathon. You cannot pre-purchase the Safety Essential courses through your own account via the HASC LINK platform if you plan on taking the course at the NDSC campus – NDSC must purchase the courses for the courses to be available at our campus.

If a trainee fails a course, the trainee can immediately retake the course, after repurchasing. Please contact the NDSC prior to sending Trainees to the NDSC Campus to assure or request available space.

Training Options:

• Large group – 15 or more trainees at one time

Contact the NDSC to secure the proctored training room. Please contact us as soon as you can to reserve the room as we do offer other proctored training courses in that room.

• Less than 15 trainees at one time
