This course is designed to enhance the skills of current CPCS qualified Appointed Persons (A61) and Lift Supervisors (A62) in using excavators for lifting operations. It ensures participants effectively understand the planning considerations for excavator use in lifting tasks, can identify hazards, and implement control measures for safe operations.
NOCN Group, in collaboration with Select Lifting Academy, developed this Assured Course to meet industry needs. This course aims to provide participants with an awareness of safe crane lifting operations, including roles and responsibilities, relevant legislation and guidance, lifting principles and more.
This course is designed for personnel looking to enhance their knowledge of the safe use of small lifting equipment and non-crane-related lifting operations.

Candidates must have a CPCS A40 Slinger Signaller Qualification and a Manual Handling Qualification to enrol in this course.
This course equips participants with practical strategies to build personal and team resilience, understand the effects of stress, emotions, and thoughts, and manage overwhelm, stress, and anxiety effectively.
Participants will explore what overwhelm, stress, and anxiety mean to them and how these factors impact their motivation and productivity. Throughout the workshop, participants will gain practical knowledge on building and sustaining resilience and limiting the effects of the body’s natural stress response.
This course benefits all employees regardless of seniority. However, supervisors, managers, and directors will find it particularly valuable as it helps them recognise and address the tendencies within themselves and their teams to enter phases where working harder decreases performance and increases the risk of mistakes.
Participants will gain awareness of the risks, protective measures, and legislative requirements associated with working at height. They will also learn about the safe use of harnesses, including proper wearing and pre-use checks.
