Mobile Elevating Work Platform Operator

This course makes use of the Genie Lift‐Pro training kit and student workbook for mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP). The training is based around a classroom setting, which focuses on specific areas of MEWP equipment operator safety training for Group A, type 1 & 3 and Group B, type 1 & 3 MEWPs.
