You set up a training profile before you pay. It asks for more than a normal checkout does - your employer, your role, an emergency contact - because this is a training record, not a shopping cart. It is the file an auditor asks to see, and it is why you can pull your certificate up years from now instead of hunting for a PDF in your email. Give yourself five minutes and do it once.

About the course
What this course covers.
A knuckle boom, or articulating, crane folds at joints along its boom rather than telescoping in one piece - a different machine to operate and inspect than a straight telescopic boom truck, with its own stability and rigging considerations. This course is written for that specific machine.
The course works through the crane's anatomy and components, stability principles, rigging considerations, safe operating practices, and the hazards specific to articulating boom cranes, referencing CAN/CSA-Z150 (mobile cranes), CAN/CSA-Z150.3 (articulating boom cranes), ISO 16715 (crane hand signals), and the equivalent ASME B30.5 and B30.22 standards.
This online course fulfils the classroom-training half of the requirement and includes a proficiency checklist the employer uses to run the practical evaluation - only the employer can designate an operator as certified, and certification requirements vary by province, so confirm what your own jurisdiction and client require.
