Aerial Platform Training Course

Elevated Work On Boom Lifts

Aerial Platform / Man Lift / Scissor Lift

(Scissor Lift / Bucket Truck / Manlift Training / Boom /Lift)

Teach trainees to safely work on and around self-propelled aerial work platforms, such as scissor-lifts and boom lifts.

Our certified safety trainers have been providing aerial platform training and certification for  years and have extensive experience in training operators of all types of aerial platforms, including scissor lifts and man-lifts.

Our Aerial Platform Training Course includes classroom video training with a written test, as well as a “hands-on” practical exam. We do not offer Aerial Platform Training Courses at any customers locations, only “on-site.”

Certificates and wallet cards will be issued to the employer for those attendees who successfully complete both the written test and hands on driving evaluation.

This program is divided into two segments.
