The requirements and competencies are in accordance with ISO 23853:2018. The most commonly used cranes include: deck cranes, mobile cranes, HDS cranes, rail cranes and tower cranes.  

Telescopic loaders 

These are very versatile machines that mining companies, among others, are equipped with. Thanks to interchangeable accessories, we can completely change their function and purpose. We can easily turn the loader into a lift or even a working platform - it is used in many working areas. By attending training in accordance with ISO 26676, you will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to work with this equipment. A positive test result gives you the authority to operate the machine.

You will gain knowledge of, among other things, corrosion control, maintenance, which is used in the marine and land-based industries. After completing the course, you will easily perform a corrosion inspection using the appropriate equipment. Upon completion of the course, you will obtain a certificate of compliance developed by the Norwegian oil industry NORSOK M-501 for petrochemical companies.
