Practical Skills Evaluation
Certification of competency requires successful completion of both a written examination and a practical skills assessment. Upon completing the program, participants must pass a final exam with a minimum score of 75%. Up to three attempts are permitted. (this is for each course – not just elearning)
Candidates must then complete a practical evaluation within 90 days of passing the final exam. The fee for us to complete the practical assessment is $70+tax per person, per piece of equipment. You may also have your employer (or another qualified evaluator) complete this on your behalf. Participants must ensure:
- They have sufficient hands-on experience with each piece of equipment being assessed
- The equipment has current annual certification and inspection documentation
- The equipment is in safe working condition and properly maintained
Please Note
- We do not offer public, in-person practical evaluations at our facility. All practical assessments are conducted at your workplace or job site.
- We do not supply, rent, or provide lifting devices. Our services are limited to training and certification only.
