Lifting Industry
Qualifications
From the machine you operate to the lift you plan. We assess crane operators, slingers and lift supervisors on live sites — recognising the competence you already have rather than teaching it back to you in a classroom.
Operating the plant
Level 2 NVQ Certificates and Diplomas, assessed on the machine you run. Each one is a named pathway — pick the machine, not a category.
