3 ½-day or 5-day bridging courses to allow current registered crane operators to operate
other type of cranes

OVERVIEW
The eligibility for registration of crane operators has always been based on skill and competency. To facilitate the need for training in other crane types, a registered crane operator of a particular crane must attend & pass a bridging course if he intends to operator another type of crane. The list of bridging courses below will prepare existing operators to learn and operate another type of cranes in a shorter time instead of attending the full course. These short courses will also provide relief to the industry/companies who may face shortage of the relevant type of crane operators.
