9. Training Standards and Certification
Training courses are intended to provide relevant instruction, practical experience and assessment appropriate to the course selected.
Certification is subject to successful completion of the applicable training and assessment requirements.
Attendance alone does not guarantee a qualification, operator card or certificate.
Where a course is associated with an accreditation or certification scheme, its requirements and conditions will apply.
We do not guarantee that every course advertised or discussed will carry a particular accreditation unless this has been expressly confirmed.
Customers should verify the required qualification or certification before booking, particularly where a specific accreditation is necessary for employment, site access or contractual compliance.
10. Health and Safety
Health and safety are important considerations in the delivery of scissor lift training.
Delegates and customers must follow applicable health and safety legislation, training instructions and site-specific procedures.
Practical training may involve working with elevated platforms, powered access equipment and other machinery.
Training may be suspended or postponed where equipment, weather conditions, site arrangements or other circumstances create unacceptable risks.
We reserve the right to take reasonable steps necessary to protect delegates, instructors and other individuals.
Completion of a training course does not remove an employer's or operator's responsibility to comply with applicable health and safety legislation, equipment requirements and safe working practices.
