Current owner (main trainer) is willing to stay full-time post sale!

This business has built a dominant reputation over 14+ years for being the go-to provider when companies need fast, reliable, and flexible OSHA and operator-required certifications, often on extremely short notice.

Established in 2012, this independent safety training company has become one of the most recognized names in the regional safety-training market, with strong Google search visibility, recurring B2B clients, and deep relationships with major operators, contractors, tribal communities, and state agencies.

The business delivers required certifications that allow workers and vendors to access oilfield, refinery, gas plant, and industrial job sites. Training is provided both onsite at customer locations and through recurring open-enrollment classes held weekly near Watford City, North Dakota.

The company offers approximately 60 total courses, with recurring demand centered around OSHA, H2S, PEC SafeLand, confined space, fall protection, heavy equipment, rigging & signalman, HAZWOPER, CPR/First Aid, and bilingual Spanish-language safety training.

Operational Overview

The business operates with a highly streamlined structure led by the owner alongside a small network of experienced 1099 instructors. The company has built a strong operational moat around responsiveness and flexibility, offering classes 7 days per week, including evenings and weekends when customers urgently need crews certified to keep projects operational. This service-first approach has allowed the business to consistently outperform slower institutional competitors.

A major advantage is the company’s strong inbound lead flow and reputation throughout the Bakken region.
