Step by Step online registration process
In order to register you will need:
McGill ID or McGill username.
Minerva Pin or McGill Password.
Then you have to view the Training Calendar (for Live Courses) (online courses for students; note: for staff go here):
Applicable only if you register for any of the courses, including an online exam.
Therefore, not applicable for:
fill–in “in person” registration form.
Those who have received an e-confirmation already (because you have successfully registered).

3. Certification
After completing your online WHMIS test, please keep your e-results as this is your proof of training.
Approximately one month after, EHS will do its best to forward you an e-certificate. Due to extremely busy training season, it may take longer.
The certification is valid for a three year period. Should you need to maintain your WHMIS certification, you will need to take the test again (online or in person). If you get the passing grade set at 80%, EHS will extend your certification for another three years.

4. Registration for BIOL111 Online or in person?
If you have not taken the test, please try online first.
If you have failed once already, EHS strongly recommends you rewrite the test in person (at EHS office). However, you can try again online.
Everyone who has failed the test twice must attend to a Live Course
You may also register for the Live Course if you prefer.
