Practical operator testing is held on-site at your facility and follows the classroom training.

Pre-shift inspection and reporting procedures are also covered. Average testing time is approximately 30 minutes per operator.

Participants with limited or no practical operating experience will require practical training prior to practical testing. The duration of practical training varies based on equipment type and aptitude of the operator.
