Frequently asked questions
Discover the answers to frequently asked questions about our training courses.
If I quit a course early, do I still get a certificate?
No. If you quit, we cannot give you a certificate. This is because we cannot properly test your knowledge and skills.
How long will my certificate be valid?
Your certificate is valid for one year. For most courses, the legislature requires that you renew your certificate every year and undergo continued training.
Can training also be tailor-made or organised for my company?
Yes, almost all of the courses we offer can be tailored to your needs. In most cases, we can also do so within your company. Further information on the course and the maximum number of participants can always be found on the page for that specific course.
Is lunch included in the training courses at a Mensura location?
Yes. Lunch is always provided for all classroom courses lasting one or more days. We take allergens into account.
Can I take a course as a private individual?
Only if you have an enterprise number.
Wat heb ik nodig om een online opleiding te volgen?
Volg je een traject online met een deel in e-learning? Dan krijg je na inschrijving via e-mail toegang tot het online platform Mensura Learn&connect. De e-learning kan je op zowel computer als tablet of GSM volgen.
Je wil online lessen met een expert volgen? We gebruiken hiervoor Microsoft Teams. We raden aan de app te installeren, dat kan zowel op Windows als Mac OS. Log je voor de eerste keer in? Probeer zo’n 30 minuten voor de sessie start of je verbinding, microfoon en camera correct werken.

I cannot attend a course. What do I do now?
A cancellation is only valid if you send it in writing to Mensura via learnconnect@mensura.be.
We charge the full cost of the course if you cancel less than 10 calendar days before the course starts. You must provide a valid medical certificate to cancel late without incurring additional costs.
Must I pay a cancellation fee if I cancel a tailor-made training course within my company?
That depends on when you cancel the training. You will find more information about this in your quotation.

Do I get a certificate after completing my training?
Yes. We issue an official certificate for each training or refresher course where a certificate is legally required (first aid, fire, confidential counsellor, and prevention adviser). You can download your certificate 20 working days after completing your training via MyMensura.
When you successfully complete another type of course - for example, an initiation - you will receive a Mensura Learn&Connect certificate.
Where can I find my certificate after completing my training?
After +/- 20 working days, all obtained certificates will appear on your MyMensura customer portal. You can download the certificate there. Certificates are not sent by e-mail.
No account yet to our client portal? Check with your internal prevention advisor or HR, or request access yourself at MyMensura.
What is the difference between an official certificate and a Mensura Learn&Connect certificate?
With an official certificate in your pocket, you meet the legal requirements and can, for example, call yourself a prevention adviser or confidential counsellor.
A Mensura Learn&Connect certificate shows that you have gained new knowledge and passed the training with flying colours. However, it is not officially valid.
What is the difference between an initiation, a refresher course, and a basic course?
An initiation is an awareness training for all staff in your company. This ensures everyone reacts appropriately in the event of an accident. You do not receive an official certificate.
After a basic course, you receive a certificate and are then a first aider in your company. You retain that certificate on completion of the mandatory annual refresher course.
