TRAINING CONTENT
Operating an overhead crane is no mean feat. The operator must be very aware of the capabilities, limitations and risks of the overhead crane. Legislation therefore also requires anyone operating an overhead crane to be trained to do so. Prevom creates a balanced mix between practical and theoretical sections for the overhead crane training course, with an emphasis on the practical reality in which the trainee will be using the overhead crane. Our instructors always respond to the daily practice within the company.
Here is a detailed overview of the programme’s final attainment levels in terms of theory.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
As the training and exam take place on location, the client is always expected to provide the necessary equipment. This way, no equipment needs to be brought on site, no deposit is paid and the student suddenly learns to work with the equipment the employer employs.
The location for this training must always be provided by the customer.
This has several advantages, notably the fact that students can learn in familiar surroundings.
This not only means fewer nerves thanks to familiar surroundings, but also improved practical insight!
The training covers about 8 hours and is usually given in full on one day.
After the lessons, there is an exam which consists of two parts: the practical and theoretical part.
The theoretical exam takes about 15 minutes.
The practical exam takes a minimum of 30 minutes.
After the overhead crane training and if you have passed both tests, each successful participant receives an official certificate. This certificate is valid for 5 years, after which you need to renew it.
