Choosing a course
Which aerial lift course matches your equipment?
Aerial lift is a category, not a course. A vehicle-mounted bucket truck, a scissor lift and a boom-type work platform are separate machines with separate training. The bucket truck course is the fastest-growing course in the whole catalogue this year, which is usually a sign of a fleet requirement somewhere upstream.
How this is ordered. By what On-Track customers actually bought over the last twelve months, not by our opinion of them. The first one listed is the one most people take.

What actually separates them
- Vehicle-mounted aerial lift covers bucket trucks specifically.
- Aerial Work Platform and boom-and-scissor courses cover the platform machines.
- MEWP is the current international term for the same family; the CAN version is the Canadian one, and there is a separate OSHA version for United States work.
- Certificates here run 24 to 36 months, shorter than most of the catalogue, so diarise the renewal.
