Get industry-endorsed Ground Disturbance training for your team

Ground Disturbance Level I® is an operational-level training program designed for workers who participate in ground disturbance activities.

If you supervise others, make important onsite decisions, or often work independently without supervision, we recommend that you take the most applicable Ground Disturbance Level II® course in your jurisdiction.

Make sure you know which level of training is required for your worksite or by your employer.

Yes. Danatec Ground Disturbance Level II® training programs are endorsed by Utility Safety Partners, British Columbia Common Ground Alliance, and the Manitoba Common Ground Alliance. This is every province in Canada that has a 201 Ground Disturbance Training Standard. Check with your employer and worksite for what’s required, as 201 endorsed training is often required even outside of these three provinces.

Ground Disturbance Best Practices is also available for those not residing in Alberta, B.C., or Manitoba. This training is designed for ground disturbance supervisors but doesn’t contain provincial legislation or issue a CCGA regional partner endorsed training certificate.

We now offer provincial bundles, allowing you to obtain endorsed certifications in multiple provinces, saving you hours in repetitive training and at half the cost. You will only have to complete Ground Disturbance Level I® and Ground Disturbance Level II® one time, and take the additional provincial modules and final exams to achieve these add-on certifications.

Already certified? We also offer the add-on provincial courses as standalone courses. Note that you will not be able to begin this training without a valid Ground Disturbance Level II® certificate from another province.

Note that secondary certifications issued will expire on the same date as your initial Ground Disturbance Level II® certification as per Utility Safety Partners requirements.

Certificates are valid for 3 years. Please note that any provincial add-on certifications, will expire at the same time as the initial certification.

You will have three attempts at the final exam to achieve the minimum passing score of 80%. This minimum score is set by endorsing bodies: Utility Safety Partners, British Columbia Common Ground Alliance, and Manitoba Common Ground Alliance.

Ground Disturbance Level I® takes an estimated 2 - 2.5 hours to complete while all Ground Disturbance Level II® programs take an estimated 6 - 6.5 hours to complete.

Our online training programs are self-paced—some learners may take more or less time to complete the program.

Ground Disturbance Level I® and Ground Disturbance Best Practices are available in both English and French. Languages can be toggled between and set with the training program.

All Ground Disturbance Level II® programs are only available in English.
