TUV/ IICS 4.1 Certified Offshore Crane Inspector & API RP 2D-Offshore Crane Inspector Certification Program

What's Unique about this course?

This program has three interrelated purposes:

• Firstly, to introduce students to the safe operating and inspection procedures of Offshore Class Cranes
• Secondly, to develop practical crane inspection skills with an actual crane
• And finally, to assess each student's abilities through an evaluation process

Instruction will include lecturers, discussions, videos, Power-Point presentation and practical lessons by using an actual crane.

Participants can now pursue IICS 4.1 Certified Offshore Crane Inspector certification with suport of TUV Nord, the international cerftification body.

Course Objectives

At the end of the course, delegates will:

• Become a "competent personnel" to inspect offshore cranes and lifting equipment
• Be able to understand the relevant standards
• Become confident in carrying out difficult tasks
