Skid-Steer Loader Certification
Description
Online Comprehensive Skid Steer Loader Training Certification Course exceeds all CSA/OHS requirements for classroom operator safety training certification in all Canadian provinces and territories.
Upon successful completion students are provided with access to:
- skid-steer specific OHS requirements for every province and territory in Canada;
- a practical evaluation checklist; and
- easy-to-use instructions for evaluating operator competence on the machine.
An employer practical evaluation is required to complete the certification process and can be performed by a supervisor or authorized personnel. Employer practical evaluations are fully approved and recommended by OHS and CSA as they give the operator training and testing that is job and industry specific.
This certification is transferable across companies and provinces (Note: each company must perform their own employer practical evaluation). Certifications expire after 3 years, as per CSA requirements.
