UDT course for rail-mounted cranes
We offer a comprehensive and professional course for operators and maintainers of rail-mounted cranes. We go to great lengths to ensure that our training courses are of the highest possible value and comply with the latest legislation, guidelines from the Office of Technical Inspection and the latest technical knowledge. We pride ourselves on the almost 100% pass rate of state examinations by our trainees.
Training objectives
Our rail crane qualification courses place emphasis on imparting the necessary knowledge regarding the construction, operation and maintenance of rail cranes. We are aware that, for people who want to work with this type of machine, knowledge of its construction and operation is crucial. Therefore, during our training courses, participants learn about the principle of operation of cranes, their components and how to maintain them.
Another important aspect of our courses is learning how to operate or maintain cranes safely and in accordance with regulations. Occupational safety is a priority for us, which is why we ensure that participants in our courses have adequate knowledge of the safety rules for working with cranes.
Last but not least, the aim of our training courses is to prepare you as well as possible for the state exam. We want the participants of our courses to have the right level of knowledge and skills to pass the state exam and be certified to operate or maintain rail cranes. Therefore, during our training courses, we prepare participants for the exam by providing them with the necessary knowledge and carrying out exercises and tests to test their skills.

Conduct of the state examination
The examination is conducted by a committee from the Office of Technical Inspection, which is responsible for assessing the trainee's skills. The examination consists of two parts. The first is the theoretical part, which is conducted in the form of a written test. Its purpose is to test the trainee's knowledge of regulations and standards relating to the maintenance or operation of rail cranes. The second part is the practical part, during which the jury tests the trainee's ability to maintain or operate rail-mounted cranes.
After passing the exam, the trainee is awarded a licence to become a maintenance or rail crane operator. This qualification is valid for a period of 5 years, after which time it must be renewed by applying to the Office of Technical Inspection. The application for renewal must include relevant documents proving that the trainee still possesses the required skills and knowledge.
