Question 2

How long is this course?

The short duration allows you to gain your qualification quickly and productively without spending long periods of time away from work.

Question 3

Why should I take this course?

The course is suited to operatives who assist in moving and loading/unloading vehicles in their occupation.

Reversing and manoeuvring vehicles are very common on a construction site; they are also very dangerous, especially in confined spaces. This course will help to reduce the risk of accidents relating to large vehicles on site.

Vehicle injuries can be costly to a business; not only are you at risk of potentially fatal accidents, but you also need to be working in line with legislation when if broken can occur legal costs.
