J3 Trainers and Consultants Inc. (“J3”) exists to make workers safer and businesses better. Two main strategies are learning through training and harnessing the power of technology. The two strategies combined allowed J3 to offer convenience by making available its training courses online where learning is made possible at the student’s pace and in their desired place. For the best learning experience, J3 feels responsible to keep its platform and services orderly and safe for its Students/Users, its course tutors and its staff. Hence, these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service apply to all activities on the J3 online training platform and other related services.

The moment a Student /User signs up, he or she automatically becomes part of the J3 online learning ecosystem where they can gain more by interacting with the course tutors, subject matter experts, thought leaders and other learners in the community. J3 believes that anyone can learn as long as there is motivation and opportunity. J3 provides the opportunity.

J3 depends upon the students’ motivation to learn and integrity in taking their chosen coursework. In order to participate in J3 training, students are expected to adhere to J3’s honor code and agree to the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.
