Training schedule

This course is designed for delegates wishing to become competent in the Banksman & Slinger role in the oil and gas industry.

The target group for Competence Assessment is personnel that wish to become certified competent Banksmen & Slingers – having previously completed Banksman & Slinging training, and/or possess sufficient and relevant work experience to be eligible for the Competence assessment.

The aim and objectives are to provide the delegate with knowledge of the rigging principles, general hazards and risks of rigging and lifting operations, an awareness of relevant legislation and regulation, and an opportunity to practice basic rigging operations following a lifting plan. Delegate performance in practical exercises will be evaluated against learning outcomes where delegates will be required to demonstrate various rigging tasks.

This is aimed at personnel who have had previous training and experience in rigging and lifting operations. Delegates will complete the following tasks: 1) Obtain and position the lifting equipment and lifting accessories as detailed in the lifting plan 2) Loft, cross-haul and lower loads 3) Move loads where there are obstruction restricting the direct path of the load e.g. over, under or around pipework.

The aim of the OPITO LCP Assessment and LCP Re-assessment is to establish that learners have the required underpinning knowledge, understanding and practical skills to undertake the role as a LOLER Competent Person/ LOLER Focal Point at the workplace. To successfully complete these assessments learners must be able to read and write in English.

The aim of this course is to provide Learners with the theoretical and practical skills to plan and organise basic routine lifting operations. The programme includes methods and techniques that will instruct in the process and procedures that are essential in planning and management of lifting operations in the wind industry.

The aim of the OPITO Lift Planning Training is to provide learners with theoretical and practical skills to plan and organise the optimum resources needed to safely plan lifting operations under the supervision of LOLER Appointed Person/LOLER Focal Point, within their workplace. To successfully complete the training learners must be able to read and write in English.

ECITB Appointed Person Moving Loads introduces the role and responsibilities of the person appointed to oversee, plan or manage lifts or moving loads operations. This 4-day course includes three classroom-based days, which involve theoretical lessons and exercises. Understanding of the theory and techniques covered within the initial three days will then be assessed in a written question and calculations paper, followed by the practical planning and performance of a lift on the final day.

This is a 1 day course which covers the elements listed below in the training content section. On completion of the course the candidate will have received a good basic introduction to Flexible hose assemblies enabling them to work safely with hydraulic hoses and associated connectors which are in use on most pieces of equipment, machinery and plant in every industrial sector.

This is a 2 day BFPA accredited and certified course. Attendees will receive tuition in the many techniques and considerations essential for the production of a quality Flexible Hose Assembly and the correct installation methods. Many of these topics will have been referred to in the Foundation Course, and this skills-based course adds to that knowledge by demonstrating and practicing the skill set required to produce and install Flexible hose assemblies to recognised industrial standards.

This BFPA Accredited training programme has been developed to meet the needs of those involved in the service, maintenance and management of Fluid Power Systems as well as Mechanical Apprentices, Technical Representatives and Project Engineers. This course would also be beneficial to all operators of Fluid Power equipment.

The aim of this course is to provide learners with a basic knowledge and understanding of the operation of hydro-pneumatic accumulators and basic practical applications including external visual inspection and pre-charge checks.

The aim of this course is to provide learners with a knowledge and understanding of the operation of hydro-pneumatic accumulators. The course will cover theoretical principles and basic practical application including dismantle and rebuild.

This BFPA course is classroom based and covers all aspects of hose management including hose assembly identity, inspection, creating records i.e. hose registers and inspection checklists, Risk analysis and Competence assurance. Candidates will be assessed on each of the topics covered. Certification is graded; Pass Merit or distinction

This BFPA accredited refresher training and assessment course is designed to ensure the avoidance of technical skills fade and allows delegates to be updated on manufacturer and industry lead body best practices. Delegates will be required to complete both written and practical assessments and on successful completion will have their Hose Assembly Skills passport renewed for a further 3 years.
