Pre-requisites for ALL STUDENTS:

No pre-requisites.  If you have limited English speaking or understanding skills let us know when booking as it may affect your ability to pass the course and it may be best to wait until we reopen our site for the theory training.  If you struggle with reading/writing let us know when booking as we have instructors who can assist with this at the theory portion of training when you come to do it at the time of practical training.

Pre-requisites for EXPERIENCED STUDENTS ONLY:

Those booking under the EXPERIENCED operators course need to be able to drive the machinery they wish to be assessed on.  If you cannot do this you need to book the Beginners Course which includes practical training to avoid failing the experienced operators course.
