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.
This training is designed to be general in nature since it covers safe operating procedures for all types of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms. It is expected that operators will follow established familiarization procedures prior to operating models not specifically addressed during this training.
