Purpose
To give course participants greater knowledge and awareness of safety measures, in order to prevent personal injury and accidents in the workplace.
Make sure your company and your employees meet the legal requirements and safety regulations for work at height.
Theory indoors, practice outdoors
The course starts with theory in the classroom. Then we go out to the lifts and practise setting up, operating and using them safely.
The instructor stands alongside and corrects you as you go, so everyone gets to try for themselves before the day is over.
Target group
The course is aimed at anyone who will be using a MEWP (lift). We run courses on a rolling basis and on request — as an open course at our premises, or locally for your company.
Classes
- Class A — manually moved MEWPs
- Class B — self-propelled MEWPs
- Class C — vehicle-mounted MEWPs
What we cover
In accordance with the current curriculum, the following topics are covered:

- Maintenance and inspection
- Safe use and operation

Age and certificate of competence
You can take part in training from the age of 17, but the certificate of competence is only issued once you turn 18. After passing the test, a certificate is issued by the Central Register for Safety Training (SFS).
The theory courses are adapted for people with reading and writing difficulties, and course material is included and handed out on the course.
Photos from the course
A course and instruction at handover are two different things
When you hire a lift from us, you get 10–30 minutes of instruction on the exact lift you're taking with you. You learn how to set it up, how to operate it and what to watch out for. That makes you confident on that machine on that day.
The lift course is something else. It's documented training that applies to you as a lift operator, not to one particular lift, and gives you a certificate of competence once you pass the test. If you have employees who use lifts at work, this is what the employer must be able to show. Read more in why you should take a lift course.
Which class do you need?
It depends on which lifts your people actually use. Scissor lifts, boom lifts and tracked lifts drive under their own power and count as self-propelled. If you use several types, it may be worth taking more than one class.
If you're unsure, tell us which lifts you use or will be hiring, and we'll help you choose the right class before you sign up.
Course at your premises or ours
If several people from the same company need the course, we can hold it at your premises. That way your people don't have to travel, and the course can be held on a day that suits. If it's just one or two, it's easier to sign them up for an open course with us in Hovemovegen.
Let us know how many will be attending, which lifts they use and roughly when you'd like the course. Then we'll find a date.
Who is signing up
The course is suitable for tradespeople, caretakers, employees of municipalities and housing cooperatives, and people who work with events and rigging. It's also suitable for private individuals who use lifts often and want to feel more confident. The course isn't just for those who will be operating large lifts.
Questions and answers
Can you hold the course at our premises?
Yes. We run courses locally for companies. Get in touch with the number of participants and your preferred time.
Which class should I take?
It depends on the lifts you'll be using. Scissor lifts, boom lifts and tracked lifts are self-propelled. Tell us what you use and we'll help you choose.
Can I take the course if I have reading and writing difficulties?
Yes. The theory courses are adapted to you, and you'll receive the course material on the course.
