OSHA Training Institute fees

Under 1949.3(a), tuition fees are calculated on the basis of the cost to the Government for the Institute's conduct of the course, as determined by the Director of the Institute.

• This means the Institute bases tuition on the Government's cost for running that specific course rather than a flat federal rate.
• The decision about what costs to include and how to compute them is made by the Director of the Institute.

See the requirement in 1949.3(a).

Under 1949.3(a), the Director of the Institute determines which Government costs are used to compute tuition fees.

• The regulation explicitly places the responsibility for that determination with the Director.

See the requirement in 1949.3(a).

Under 1949.3(b), the total tuition charges for each course will be set forth in the course announcement.

• Always check the official course announcement for the specific tuition amount you will be charged for that offering.

See the requirement in 1949.3(b).

Under 1949.3(a) and 1949.3(b), tuition can differ between courses or sessions because fees are computed based on the Government's cost for each course and the total charge is set in the course announcement.

• Different courses can have different costs and therefore different tuition charges.
• Always consult the course announcement for the exact tuition for that course or session.

See 1949.3(a) and 1949.3(b).

Under 1949.3(b), the OSHA Training Institute will publish the total tuition charge for a course in the course announcement.

• The course announcement is the authoritative source for the tuition that will apply to that offering.

See the requirement in 1949.3(b).

Under 1949.3(a), the regulation does not prescribe a specific formula; it states tuition will be computed on the basis of the Government's cost as determined by the Director of the Institute.

• The regulation assigns the method and cost determination to the Director without detailing a required calculation method.

See the requirement in 1949.3(a).

Under 1949.3(a), the regulation states the Director of the Institute determines the Government cost used to compute tuition, indicating the Director is the official responsible for that determination.

• The text specifically names the Director as the party who determines the cost basis; the regulation does not describe other approvers or a review process.

See the requirement in 1949.3(a).

Under 1949.3(a), the regulation does not list specific cost elements; it simply requires tuition be computed on the basis of the cost to the Government as determined by the Director of the Institute.

• Because the rule does not itemize cost elements, the Director's determination governs which costs are included.

See the requirement in 1949.3(a).

Under 1949.3(b), the regulation requires that total tuition charges be set forth in the course announcement but does not address whether those published charges may be changed after publication.

• The regulation is silent on post-publication changes; for policies on changes, rely on the course announcement details or Institute procedures.

See the requirement in 1949.3(b).

Under 1949.3, the rule is located in Part 1949 of OSHA's regulations, specifically at 1949.3.

• Part 1949 covers the Office of Training and Education and the OSHA Training Institute.

See Part 1949 and 1949.3.

Under 1949.3, the official title of this section is "Schedule of fees."

• The section title appears in the regulation header and guides readers that the section concerns tuition and fee scheduling.

See 1949.3.

Under 1949.3 and Part 1949, this regulation applies to the OSHA Training Institute and the Office of Training and Education, not to private or non-OSHA training providers.

• The Part title, "Office of Training and Education Occupational Safety and Health Administration," indicates the scope is the OSHA Institute itself.

See Part 1949 and 1949.3.
