Just received 2 emails recently from a National requiring HIPAA Certification and Aerial Lift Certification. Pricing through US Rentals is $250.00 for a 3 hour class. The HIPAA certification is anywhere from $20.00 on up, based on the level required. Anyone else receiving these request, and if so, who, how and where did you get your HIPAA online Certification?

Yes I received the same,They dont give me enough business
to justify their BS requirements and paying on my nickel.
They are lowering rates not paying travel and want all these certifcations.

I can stay home and make no money.

And now another request, for drug testing. Really!

Pete Tenuta sent me links to a $20 and $25 HIPPO :-) course. Here they are


You don't need to do the a full security expert course as those typically apply to health care/medical workers. A basic course will suffice as long as there is some certificate of completion at the end. In doing a search online a found a couple options that appear to offer what we are looking for. I have not had any experience with them but at first glance they look ok:

This website offers basic HIPAA training course for $25 and provides a certificate of completion:

This website offers a HIPAA Basics training Course for $20 (with a $5 discount when registering 5 or more users) and also provides a certificate

As far as the lift, I have a U.S. Rentals account as my customer. When I get a chance, I'll see if I can get a basic certification course. Geeze, my lift of preferece is the smallest Genie.

I don't mess with the nationals when they start getting silly with their requirements. We had a new one call us out of the blue wanting a rush job scheduled in the next 12 hours but insisted we sign their 17 page contract first. We were happy to pass on that!

The HIPAA Certification I received was administered by the End User, OHSU (Oregon Health and Science University) and all lift training...Scissor-lift, Forklift, Boom Lift, Reach Fork, et cetera have been either employer provided or classes at the local Union Hall.

Sounds like it's time to be just about as silly as the "Nationals" and order a copy of Certificate Maker...heck send em copies of whatever they want to see....:-)

Sure as soon as you send me advance payment for this job I will be happy to get certified. Sorry we dont do net 720.

I love it. About 18 years or so ago, we had a guy run his lift into a 440 volt line at the Jeep plant. I think he survived, but only barely. The worst I ever did was run into a pole in a Wal Mart store. Now that gets your attention. I'm hoping this "certification" is just a common sense, "look around before you drive" type of course. Yeah, I'll spring the $75 if US Rentals is much more than that.
