Instructions for Students

Welcome to the OHTA training courses and the team at OHTA hope you find this a valuable learning experience about occupational health and hygiene issues and have fun. These instructions apply to all the OHTA courses.

Every course has an accompanying student manual which can be accessed on the OHTA website at: https://ohtatraining.org/

  1. Students will need to create an account to download student manuals. The registration form is available at: https://ohtatraining.org/my-account/
  2. During the registration process, you will receive an email inviting you to complete the registration process by setting your account password.
  3. Once you complete the registration process, you will be able to log in and download manuals free of charge. The location of the manuals for all OHTA courses are available at: https://ohtatraining.org/students/fmanuals/
  4. The website uses a checkout process. Once you find the required manual, add it to your cart and follow the check-out process to access a link to download the PDF document.

 

The Exams

  • The OHTA team will send an enrolment code to your training provider and pass it on to all students in your class.
  • Once your training provider sends you the code, return to our website and log in to your account at: https://ohtatraining.org/my-account/
  • When you access your account, you will see the field on the Dashboard: Do you have an enrolment code? Enter your enrolment code here. You will be notified of a successful enrolment immediately.
  • You will be sent an email welcoming you to the exam system and invite you to set up an account on the exam website. You will be provided with instructions along the way. If you already have an account on our exam system, the email will let you know your enrolment was successful, and you can use your existing credentials to log in. Our exam website is at https://exams.ohtatraining.org/login/index.php
  • Please note that the OHTA main and exam websites are separate systems. Any changes to your password on one system will not be reflected on the other website.
  • When you access the exam website, setting your time zone is first. THIS IS ESSENTIAL, as your exams have been set to be completed at a fixed time and date in your time zone. Your time zone settings are in your PROFILE > User Details > Edit Profile.
    Once you log in to the exam website, your direct link to access your profile is here: https://exams.ohtatraining.org/user/edit.php
  • When you log in to the exam site, you will see the course you are currently enrolled in. Follow the link, and you will find two items: 1. A short mock exam, which will help you to familiarise yourself with the exam process; 2. You will also see your final exam, which will be held on the last day of the course.
  • These exams are set to open and close at specific times, which are shown on the exam page. This is a good opportunity to check the time and date of your final exam to make sure that it matches what your training provider has told you. If this is not correct, check that you have set your time zone correctly.
  • The short mock exam is set for 30 minutes. The results do not count toward the final exam results.
  • The final exam for OHTA201 is set for 1.5 hours and has 40 multi-choice questions (MCQ).
  • The final exam for the OHTA500 series is set for 2.5 hours and has 60 MCQ.
  • If the internet goes down, the exam software will resume the question on which you last worked.

 

The Exams in Detail

  • Each question is worth 1 point, and there are no negative points for wrong answers.
  • You are free to change your answer as often as you like. Only the final answer you select after submitting the completed exam will be considered for grading.
  • Select the answer you think is the best of the 4 available options, as several may look correct.
  • All questions and the 4 answer options are randomised, so no two computer screens will look the same.
  • Make sure you click submit and go through to completion.

 

Results

  • The exam results will be sent back to your training provider three days after the exam.
  • After our contact with your training provider, an email will be sent to students who passed their exam with a link to your OHTA Certificate of Completion. The certificate will also be available on the OHTA website in your account at: https://ohtatraining.org/my-account
  • Unsuccessful students who wish to resit the exams have 12 months to do so.
  • All students are encouraged to return the feedback form to the OHTA Administrator. We want to learn and improve our processes to give you the best occupational hygiene training.
