Detail for course

From 18 – 26/05/2020 opening the course “Offshore Crane Inspector”.

* WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS COURSE?

This program has three interrelated purposes:

Firstly, to introduce students to the safe operating and inspection procedures of Offshore Class Cranes

• Secondly, to develop practical crane inspection skills with an actual crane,
• And finally, to assess each student’s abilities through an evaluation process.

Instruction will include lectures, discussions, videos, Power-Point presentations and practical lessons by using an actual lattice boom crane.

Participants can now pursue TUV/IICS 4.1 Certified Offshore Crane Inspector certification, by the international certification body TUV Nord.

* WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

• QA/QC and Maintenance Personnel of off-shore cranes from Oil & Gas Companies
• Government Agencies, who inspect offshore cranes
• Third Party Inspection (TPI) companies
• Companies, who wish for competent staff

* COURSE DURATION: 6 Days Training + 1 Day Exam
