Common questions

Things buyers ask us most often.

Do you offer purchase orders, Net-30, and tax-exempt invoicing?

Yes — every tier supports POs, W-9s, tax-exempt certificates, and Net-30 invoicing. Most of our enterprise clients enroll teams through procurement. We handle consolidated invoicing across multiple sites as well.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes, we offer discounts for bulk purchases (5+, 10+, 25+, 50+ copies with automatic volume discounts). Please contact us for more information.

What is the TechStar Certification, and is it recognized?

TechStar Certification is an internal credential used by client organizations as a standard readiness marker. It's not a government license, but it's recognized on résumés across refining, utilities, EPC, and renewables — and several client sites now require it for new supervisor promotion.

Can we buy the books without the training?

Yes — printed handbooks and digital editions are available standalone or in bulk (5+, 10+, 25+, 50+ copies with automatic volume discounts). Many clients start with the books and add training once they've used the material internally. More information on our training here.
