Who This Course Is For

• Workers and operators in industrial, manufacturing, warehousing, port, or construction environments where bridge or gantry cranes are used. 
• Individuals needing a Class CB licence because the crane is operated from a permanent cabin or has more than three powered motions. 
• Employers and site supervisors who require certified crane operators to ensure safety and compliance on-site.

Course Duration & Format

The course typically spans 5 full days, combining both theory and practical assessments. 
Training delivery may include face-to-face sessions, practical crane operation exercises, and assessment of competency against national standards. 

What You Will Learn

• Pre-operational inspections of crane and lifting equipment — ensuring safety and compliance. 
• Safe load handling and transfer techniques, including load estimation, use of slings/lifting devices, and load stability checks.
