BEGINNER IN-HOUSE COURSE

Our in house courses can be located at our site in Purfleet but are best at your site for the most accurate training on what they will be using day-to-day.In house courses are designed to have the candidates only certificated on your site meaning they are trained on what they will be using and cannot use this license at any other site.

BEGINNER - NATIONAL COURSE

Our national courses can be held at any site as this course is designed to have the candidate specially trained in all scenarios while using a Gantry Cranes so that they are available to go to any site and use this truck. This course is ideal for workers who may have to use a Gantry Crane at several different sites.

REFRESHER COURSES

Refresher courses are primarily for candidates who already have a certificate to prove they have done their novice course. These courses are designed to be done after 3 years in order to recap anything the candidates may have forgot and to remove any bad habits they may have picked up which may be likely to cause an accident.

I would like to thank you for your efforts and attention to detail when processing our purchase. Your service to us alone is what won you the business against the other 5 companies I approached. Not one other company offered to survey our building and I doubt they would have kept me updated like you have. I will certainly be recommending you and your company to any companies we deal with who may require your services.
