This half day course is designed for operators who do not hold a certificate in the operation of mobile platforms. Certificates are awarded to participants who are successful in both the theoretical and practical tests.  These certificates are valid for 3 years.  An assessment on each operator’s abilities is also provided to be kept on the employee’s file.  All of our instructors are trained to the approved and accredited CITB/RTITB standard.
