Why this course
Built for supervisors who can’t leave the lift plan to someone else
Assessed on site, not in a lecture hall
The whole diploma is assessed in your normal working environment. Observations, professional discussions, lift plans, RAMS and site records — the assessment reflects the work you already carry out.
Qualify while you work
Stay in your role and keep your income. Evidence comes from live lifting operations on your own projects, so building the portfolio never takes you off site.
Typically done in 12 weeks
Most candidates complete in around 12 weeks. The pace is set by how quickly evidence comes off your lifts — and a Fast Route option is available if you need it sooner.
A dedicated assessor throughout
An experienced assessor plans your portfolio around the lifts you already have booked, guides your evidence and keeps everything moving to sign-off.
