MEWP Operator Training in Durban

Our on-site MEWP operator training centre offers various levels of training, ranging from fully-accredited courses through to condensed single machine short courses, as well as machine handover and familiarisation training. All MEWP training courses are led by relevant qualified and accredited demonstrators, facilitators, assessors and moderators.

Why Choose Us?

• We are accredited with SSETA, TETA, IWAH, DOL & DOE – and we’re the only MEWP operator training providers in KwaZulu-Natal to be accredited by both SSETA and TETA.
• Operators receive training on THREE types of mobile elevating work platforms, so they are able and correctly qualified to operate any MEWP once their training is complete.
• We train MEWP operators on our machines, which means your machines do not have to be removed from service, and you do not have to hire a machine for the duration of the training.
• We use a fully-equipped training room for the theoretical part of the training.
• Each of our MEWP operator training students receives a comprehensive printed student guide to keep, which includes MEWP operating procedures and information on caring for the machines.
• Should you wish, we can train MEWP operators at your premises. However, some of the above benefits would not apply.
• We provide a light midday meal when MEWP operator training takes place at our training centre.

About Our MEWP Training Centre

Our MEWP training facility is based at the Need-A-Tool headquarters in New Germany, Durban. Our classroom is suitable for up to TEN students at a time, with access to multiple MEWP models and designs for training purposes. While we are willing to train MEWP operators on your site and using your machines, we prefer to train operators at our premises. This way we can train operators on several machines, resulting in better, more qualified operators who are able to operate more MEWPs than just a cherrypicker.
