New operators and new slinger/signallers
Someone new to the role needs a course that builds the foundations. ALLMI specifies a minimum two-day novice course for both operator and slinger/signaller training. Tell us about any related experience, but do not assume driving the vehicle or using a forklift establishes crane competence.
Experienced candidates
The experienced route is normally one day under ALLMI’s published course information. Eligibility depends on relevant experience and the course requirements. Describe the actual work the candidate carries out and provide any existing training records before choosing dates.
Refresher training
ALLMI cards and certificates are valid for five years. Refresher training and assessment are required at renewal. If a card has expired, a person has had a long break from the equipment or their work has changed, send the details so the correct route can be confirmed.
Conversion and familiarisation
Changing attachments, controls or capacity categories can require conversion training. Familiarisation with another make or model is also distinct from assuming an existing card covers everything. Send a copy of the categories shown on the card and details of the proposed crane.
