Welcome to the Elevating Work Platform (EWP) Verification of Competency Refresher Training Online.

Elevating Work Platforms Training Online

An elevating work platform is a mobile construction equipment (device) which can be used on project sites to move/transport vertically, workers, tools and small quantities of materials to elevated working positions. Basically, an EWP comprises an elevated work platform with built-in control mechanisms, an extending arm-like structure called a boom and a frame or chassis.

In the construction equipment market, there are different variations of EWP, but they can be classified as belonging to one of two categories: Boom type or Scissor type.

Features of this refresher training include:

- Download a VOC Certificate of Completion on successful completion

- A Digital Wallet ID VOC Card is also issued on successful completion

- Verification of competency by our RTO partner, AlertForce RTO Code 91826.
