Introduction
This C2 Crane licence course provides participants with knowledge and skills to operate a slewing mobile crane (up to 20 tonnes) for licencing purposes. This crane type – up to 20 tonnes – is one of the key slewing mobile cranes you learn to operate before progressing to the heavier duty cranes like 60t and above. The course is thus tailored to your experience accordingly. As with our other Crane Training, you learn all the key aspects in preparation, planning, actual doing crane work and through to completion and shut down procedures. It is a High Risk Work Activity and this training enables you, if you are successful, to progress to the HRWL application stage.

Currently, you have to renew your licence within 12 months of its expiry otherwise your high risk work licence can’t be renewed, you will have to repeat this training course and re-apply for your licence or re-enrol in the course again and be supervised by somebody who has a current licence for the same class.
