Education & Languages review

Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene review

An English online course on workplace hygiene basics, covering infection control, cleaning, disinfection and hygiene plans, written by a retired hygiene officer and sold for EUR 99 by a German company.

Worth it

The offer is honest in tone: it says what the course is for, names the author and her background, and warns that it is no substitute for formal training. The company behind it is fully registered with a phone number. The weakness is value. EUR 99 buys a basics course whose length and number of lessons are never stated, and much of the page is spent on why hygiene matters rather than what the course contains. For a small business that wants a certificate of participation for staff it can make sense, but individuals can find similar basics free from health authorities.
