Terms of Use

General Information

This website is operated by Trade Progress Center LLC ("Trade Progress Center") and is an informational resource for its training programs and services. By accessing and using this website, you agree to these terms of use.

Course Schedules and Availability

Course schedules, formats, and availability are subject to change at any time. Trade Progress Center reserves the right to modify, reschedule, or cancel courses as needed. We will notify registered participants of any changes.

Certificate Information

FDNY Certificate of Fitness: Our courses are exam preparation only. Certificates are issued by the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) upon successful completion of their official examination. Trade Progress Center does not issue FDNY certificates. The FDNY exam is given in English only, even when our class or online lessons are in Russian or Spanish.

OSHA and SST Cards: OSHA 10-hour and 30-hour cards are US Department of Labor course completion cards. The OSHA-authorized trainer requests them through an OSHA Authorizing Training Organization after the full live class and gives them to the student within 90 days of the class end. NYC SST cards are issued through the DOB-registered course provider described below. Trade Progress Center does not issue OSHA or SST cards itself. Online self-study in the student portal is exam preparation and review only; it does not count toward OSHA, SST or other card hours.

NYC DOB courses: Our NYC Department of Buildings courses (for example Site Safety Training (SST), scaffold and Site Safety Manager refresher courses) are taught by a Trade Progress Center instructor registered with the NYC DOB as a trainer, under a contract with an independent, third-party course provider registered with the NYC DOB. That provider certifies the course and records your completed training in DOB Training Connect, where your SST card and other DOB qualifications are kept. Trade Progress Center is not itself a DOB-registered course provider. Before you enroll you can ask us which provider certifies your course.

No Guarantee of Employment or Results

Trade Progress Center makes no guarantee of employment, job placement, or exam results. Completion of our training programs does not guarantee employment or passing of any certification exam. Success depends on individual effort, study, and performance.

Limitation of Liability

Trade Progress Center is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of this website or our services.
