A Final Note
It is important to remember that attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing the knowledge acquired through a training course to on-the-job work processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course, it is important that you receive additional on-site training from your employer to better grasp workplace-specific processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course, you must receive additional hands-on training from your employer to better grasp the operations and specifics of the aerial or scissor lifts used in your workplace.
