How long is the telecom safety course and how is it delivered?

It is 8 hours: the theory can be taken live virtual or self-paced on the platform, and the practice for heights, basic rescue and signage is done on-site, with your equipment and on a safe structure agreed with your safety team.

Does it include a DC-3 certificate?

Yes. Every participant who meets attendance, the theory assessment and the practical receives a DC-3 certificate with the data required by Mexico's STPS. The platform keeps records by technician, crew and contractor for STPS inspections and for your customers' safety audits.

Does the course guarantee compliance with NOM-009 and NOM-029?

No. The course provides the training and records those standards call for, but compliance also depends on your procedures, equipment, work permits and supervision. It is not legal advice; if you need it, we suggest validating your safety program with a specialist.

What about questions once the technician is in the field?

Geedle Bot, our artificial-intelligence agent, is trained on the course content and recordings. It answers from the phone at any hour and takes the participant to the exact minute and second of the recording where the instructor explained the topic; it does not replace the supervisor's authorization.
