As the training and examination take place at your company, the customer is expected to provide the necessary equipment.

This way, no equipment needs to be brought to the site, no deposit is required, and participants immediately learn to operate the machine used by their employer.

The location for this training must always be provided by the customer.

This offers several advantages, particularly the fact that participants can efficiently learn to operate the aerial work platform in a familiar environment.

This not only means fewer nerves thanks to familiar surroundings, but also improved practical insight!

The self-propelled aerial work platform training course lasts one day. Each session can accommodate a maximum of 8 experienced or 5 inexperienced participants.

The exam has two parts: practical and theoretical.

The theoretical exam takes about 30 minutes.

The practical exam takes a minimum of 30 minutes.

Each participant who passes both exams will receive a certificate. This certificate is valid for 5 years. After this period of 5 years, it is the employer’s responsibility to schedule a new training or refresher course. After this training, the participant can be re-certified.

If a participant does not pass, we contact the person responsible at the company and, in consultation with the company, look for a solution.

You will receive a certificate of participation from Prevom. This certificate will state that you have successfully completed the training.

The legislator expects employers to ensure that employees are demonstrably trained and authorised to drive machinery. In addition, this training also provides an opportunity to sharpen your competences.

Prevom recommends a reassessment of employees’ competences within 5 years of the certificate’s issue date.

If you have lost your attestation, it is best to discuss this with your employer. They can then contact Prevom.

We charge a €30 administrative fee for issuing a new certificate.
