WHAT DOES THIS AERIAL WORK PLATFORM TRAINING COVER?
With this aerial platform training, get the most out of yourself, your employees and your machines.
AERIAL WORK PLATFORM TRAINING
An aerial platform course is a must for safety at work. In fact, even those who obtained an aerial platform certificate in the past sometimes need to renew it. The technologies used never stand still, and the regulations require that an aerial platform or scissor-lift certificate be renewed regularly, in order to always guarantee safety at work or on site. That is why this training is also aimed at workers who operate such a machine without a certificate. For these experienced professionals, obtaining an aerial platform certificate is not only a must but also highly recommended. Anyone who can demonstrate sufficient practical experience can only benefit from the aerial platform course.
OPERATING AN AERIAL PLATFORM
With an aerial work platform, you can carry out various tasks safely without needing a ladder. This is certainly a great advantage: you no longer need a very long ladder to clean the windows of a tall building, for example. It is therefore no wonder that many companies already use aerial platforms, often without any training having been followed. This does not necessarily mean that the worker in question would be unable to work efficiently with an aerial platform. We know that practical skills can always be developed further on the job. Practice makes perfect, as the saying goes.
AERIAL PLATFORM CERTIFICATE
For experienced workers, following an aerial platform course does not take long: your professional experience is validated. All you need to do to complete the training is to pass a competence test. Then obtain your aerial platform certificate through our individual competence test in just 1 hour. Those who pass quickly receive their official certificate! Where and when it suits. The big advantage of this approach is the time saving: after the test, you go straight back to work!
We also organise this aerial platform course for specific models: articulated boom, telescopic, vertical mast, scissor lift, spider platform or truck-mounted platform.
A combination of articulated boom, telescopic and scissor lift is possible in one training. The spider platform and the truck-mounted platform each require a separate training.
Experienced or not? Every aerial platform operator is welcome in this training! Those who pass quickly receive their official certificate!
For experienced operators, there is our 1-hour aerial platform competence test.
