AODA Online Training

AODA requires businesses and non-profits who conduct operations on the territory of Ontario to train their staff on how to interact with individuals living with various disabilities. The latter include both visible and non-visible impairments ranging from vision or hearing loss to learning disorders, developmental disabilities, and more. The aim of this training is to render workplaces more open and inclusive to vulnerable people.

What Is AODA?

In 2005, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario passed the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). This ruling officially made AODA training a legal requirement for anyone who works in the province of Ontario. The program is designed to help workers better interact with people with disabilities. Upon completion of the course, employees will be able to offer excellent customer service and establish tailor-made business-to-business relationships with individuals living with various impairments.

Who Needs AODA?

AODA training is mandatory for paid workers (new or current), volunteers, consultants, contractors, services and/or goods providers, and even board members. The Ontario legislature mandates that accessibility training be commenced immediately after a new worker is hired, which is why recruiters often pay more attention to candidates who have already completed an AODA course. Industries where AODA training is imperative to include, but are not limited to:

  • Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare,
  • Office Work,
  • Hospitality and Tourism,
  • Education & Research,
  • Agriculture and Food,
  • Logistics (Shipping and Warehousing).

Who Is Responsible for AODA Training?

Ontarian legislation clearly states that it is the employers’ responsibility to facilitate access to AODA training as soon as possible after a new employee is hired, as a way to ensure the continuity of accessible work environments and appropriate customer interactions. In addition, staff members are legally required to undergo this training and apply what they have learned throughout their interactions with disabled individuals. Because of the immediacy of this certification, many job candidates acquire their AODA certification prior to their interview, as a way to enhance their CVs.

What Do You Need to Learn?

AODA training includes a variety of techniques that are meant to help workers render their customer service and work environments more accessible to people who are living with various impairments. Employees will be taught how to appropriately interact with colleagues, professionals, and clients afflicted by specific disabilities. The course’s ultimate aim is to establish a series of respectful and attentive behaviours meant to cater to the needs of vulnerable categories.

How Long Is the Certificate Valid?

Ontario workers will be required to re-take their AODA certification regularly, often on a yearly basis. Even though the legislation was implemented over a decade ago, many employers and workplaces still fail to abide by these standards.

What Other Courses Should I Take?

People who purchase AODA training often do so together with Conflict Resolution, Office Ergonomics, and Workplace Harassment. For a complete list of safety courses required by a specific line of work, please navigate to our consultation page, where training programs are grouped by occupation. The aim of these courses is to help employees and their employers create a safe work environment that is nurtured by an informed culture of workplace safety.

Other Courses you should take

Those who acquire AODA training also consider courses in:

Same-Day Certification
With eSafetyFirst, you don't have to chase instructors for your paperwork or wallet cards. With our training system, you can get the certificate on the same day, or you can learn at your own pace and decide when you want to finish your training.

How AODA Online Training Benefits You

Cheapest and most convenient

In today’s fast-paced society, AODA online courses have become the cheapest and most convenient solution to get your safety training done.

Save Time and Money

With AODA online training, you no longer need to schedule appointments, commute to a training facility, and spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on courses and materials, all because an offline training facility can’t keep up with modern solutions due to human resources.

Pause, Resume or Retake Exams

It is also significantly more convenient to opt for the AODA online training because it gives the attendant the option to start the training at any given time and gain full control of the content. AODA online courses give you the option to pause, resume, and even retake parts of the training that you did not fully master on your first try.

Course & Certification FAQs

Learn more about eSafetyFirst courses

Is this course online?

All our courses are done online.

Some courses will also require a hands-on practice and evaluation component, in order to be compliant with your provincial worker compensation board. In this case, inside our courses (usually in the resource section), you will find the appropriate operator evaluation checklist so that your employer or supervisor can provide you with a workplace-specific evaluation, as recommended by the CSA standards.

How can I buy this course?

To buy a course, all you have to do is to click the green button where it says, "Add to Cart".

This will add the product to the shopping bag.

If you want to buy other courses, you can then navigate the website knowing that the product is in your shopping bag. When you are done browsing, you can click the checkout button from the shopping bag and complete the checkout form.

Do I have a limited time to finish the training?

You will have 1 year to complete your training. We believe this offers plenty of time to start and finish your training.

Can I take a course from a mobile device?

Yes. Our courses are cross-device compatible, meaning that you can take a course from a mobile device or tablet. You can also start the course on one device, pause, and resume it on a different one. The progress will be saved as you go through your training.

How can I find my certificate?

In most cases, this question is addressed to us by individuals who took the training with a different company. We, as a private company, can only store and access the data of our customers. If you did your training with a different company, then you need to contact them to get a copy of your certificate.

If you are a customer of eSafetyFirst.com then all you have to do is to login to your account from the top right corner of our website, and you can, at any time, download a copy of the certificate you received from us.

What type of payments do you accept?

At this moment we accept Visa Credit and Debit Cards as well as Mastercard Credit and Debit Cards.

My Payment was declined. What to do?

There are multiple reasons why a payment might be refused by our payment processing system.

Unfortunately, we do not have access to the reason a bank may have failed to make a payment, so the only solution we have at the moment is to recommend you call your bank and see exactly why the payment was declined and how you can fix that.

What am I paying for?

Our courses are structured in modules and testing sections.

When you make a purchase on eSafetyFirst you are paying for the entire course. At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate which will demonstrate that you have received the theoretical training and the evaluation for that specific course.
