This course is designed to provide delegates with knowledge of Slinging and Signalling. It covers the theoretical and practical elements and is suitable for delegates with limited to no formal instruction or training.

The course is delivered through a combination of classroom-based tutorials and practical assignments. Delegates will be assessed through a mixture of theory and practical tests.

These will include:

• Establishing the weight and dimensions of loads and communicating information to the crane operator.
• Selecting appropriate lifting tackle and attaching and detaching correctly and safely.
• Using clear and unambiguous signals to direct the actions of a crane moving loads of various weights and dimensions.
• Determining the serviceability of lifting accessories and maintaining and storing them.

All delegates must have successfully passed a CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test, often referred to as the touch screen test, within the past two years.

Delegates must have a good understanding of spoken and written English.

Successful delegates will receive a CPCS Red Trained Operator Card (on successful completion of the CPCS Technical Tests).

Companies that are CITB registered and meet their grant scheme eligibility requirements may be able to claim a short course duration grant. Please contact us for further information.
