There are no specific prerequisites listed, though having some experience of construction site work will help you get the most from the sessions. It is also useful to arrive ready to take part in both written and practical assessments at the end of the course. You can expect a mix of classroom-based theory and hands-on exercises that build your ability to manage lifting operations safely.

The training is delivered through a combination of theory sessions and practical exercises, allowing you to apply what you learn straight away. You will work through real scenarios that involve planning lifts, selecting the right equipment, and producing the necessary documentation.
