The content of the course applies to all types and categories of overhead lifting crane devices. The instruction will particularly focus on all aspects of crane operation that could be performed at the trainee's workplace.

The in-class session, the trainee will learn regarding causes of occurrences and damages, legislation and guidelines, internal responsibility, danger awareness, design principles and basic equipment, capacity ratings/load weight calculations, pre-shift equipment checks, safe hoisting/operating techniques, equipment applications/rigging, types of hardware, hitches and angles, operator/pedestrian safety, turning/flipping loads safely, hand signals for slingers and operators.

The practical training and evaluation portion of the course must be pre-scheduled. This customized part of the training will be held at the trainees' facility. The length of this practical training part is one to two hours. Two operators at a time will be trained by the instructor on skills like planning the lift, right rigging practices and safe operation.

Upon finishing the practical operating instruction and evaluation and the in-class instruction, the trainee will write a test. Signed safety rules would be needed from each participant. Individual wallet certificates would be given to successful trainees. A framed wall certificate will be provided to the company.
