Training Approach
Our MHE training programmes are delivered through:
Practical hands-on instruction using your site's equipment
Comprehensive theory sessions covering safety and operational principles
Site-specific hazard awareness and risk assessment training
Full competency assessment and certification
We believe in delivering practical, relevant training that directly addresses your workplace needs. Our approach combines thorough theoretical knowledge with extensive hands-on experience, ensuring operators develop both the understanding and practical skills needed for safe, efficient equipment operation. By conducting training at your site with your own equipment, we create a learning environment that directly reflects your day-to-day operations.
Each training programme is structured to build operator confidence progressively, starting with comprehensive theory sessions that cover essential safety principles and operational procedures. This foundation is then reinforced through practical instruction, where operators gain direct experience with their equipment under expert supervision.
Throughout the training, we incorporate site-specific hazard awareness and risk assessment elements, ensuring operators are fully prepared for the unique challenges of their working environment. The programme culminates in a thorough competency assessment, leading to certification upon successful completion.
Course Structure
Every MHE training course we deliver follows a carefully structured format designed to build operator knowledge and competence systematically.
The journey begins with comprehensive equipment familiarisation, where operators learn the essential components and functions of their machinery, along with crucial pre-use inspection procedures that ensure safe daily operation.
From this foundation, we progress through detailed instruction in safe operating procedures and techniques, with particular emphasis on load handling and movement.
Our experienced instructors guide operators through increasingly complex manoeuvres, helping them develop the skills and confidence needed for efficient operation.
Throughout this process, we integrate site-specific safety protocols, ensuring operators understand and can effectively manage the unique challenges of their working environment.
The course culminates in a thorough assessment phase that evaluates both theoretical knowledge and practical capabilities. Operators must demonstrate their understanding of safety principles and operational procedures through a written assessment, followed by a practical evaluation of their operating skills.
Those who successfully complete both components receive formal certification, recognising their competence and qualification to operate specific types of equipment.
Each training course includes:
Equipment familiarisation and pre-use checks
Safe operating procedures and techniques
Load handling and movement
Site-specific safety protocols
Theory assessment and practical evaluation
Certification upon successful completion
