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.

It is expected that operators will follow established familiarization procedures prior to operating models not specifically addressed during this training. This course consists of five key areas of learning and proficiency demonstration. Discussions will include Terminology and Applications, Responsibility, Safety, Operation, and finish with Hands‐on.
