Who should take this course?
This online aerial lift training is ideal for beginners starting their career and experienced operators who need a safety refresher. It’s an excellent way to ensure every operator understands how to work safely and correctly.
Important: Practical hands-on training is still required to confirm real-world competence. The online theory course does not include physical practice, so employers must arrange this separately.
Practical skills & competency verification for mobile elevating work platforms
The theoretical portion of this course is essential for safe operation of all aerial lifts. However, because equipment models vary, the training does not prepare you for a specific lift type. Employers are responsible for providing site-specific instruction and ensuring operators are familiar with the exact model they will use.
