Crane certificate
According to DGUV regulation 52, only persons "who [...] have been instructed in the operation and maintenance of a crane and have demonstrated their ability to do so" may operate a crane. You will receive the appropriate proof of this with our crane operator training. Here, participants acquire comprehensive knowledge - both theoretical and practical - in the safe handling of cranes .
In addition to the one-day classroom course, we also offer an online version. The content of the theory training can be easily completed online. It is therefore up to the participant to decide when and where they would like to complete the training. The exam (theory + practice) as well as the practical exercise is taken on an afternoon at the training location of your choice.

Using capacities efficiently and flexibly
In everyday business life, it often happens that an employee spontaneously has free capacity. These idle times can now be used efficiently with the help of our online training, as the participant works through the training bit by bit.
This allows flexible integration into the daily work routine without any problems, which reduces the planning effort for managers to a minimum. Of course, it is also possible to complete the training in one day.
Individual learning at your own pace
In a training course, you will meet participants who already have experience with the subject matter as well as complete beginners. Doing justice to all participants is often a balancing act.
With our online training, participants can work through the learning material at their own pace and no longer have to adapt to the speed of other training participants. This means that content can be repeated as often as desired or worked on over several days.
Clever learning concept
No one is enthusiastic about dry, boring training. When we created our online training, we therefore made sure that it was as varied as possible.
Our speaker Wolfgang guides the participants through the training with a lot of humor and vivid examples. In addition, interactive diagrams, explanatory videos and quizzes are used to liven up the training.
Thanks to our final and lesson quizzes, it is also possible to guarantee that only participants who have understood the content of the training can take the on-site exam.
