CPCS A20 Hoist Passenger and Goods (A20A and A20B) in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire (Classroom)

CPCS A20 Hoist Passenger and Goods (A20A and A20B) in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire

This is the CPCS route covering both hoist categories: A20A goods hoist and A20B passenger and goods hoist. Book at any time and the centre will arrange a mutually convenient date with you afterwards.

Training covers the practical and theoretical operation of a mechanical hoist, whether goods only, passenger and goods, or both. Duration depends on your experience: novice is one to two days, refresher one day, and test only one day.

Hoist is a narrow category and only a handful of UK centres run CPCS hoist certification regularly, so operators routinely travel a long way for it. This centre is a few minutes from a mainline station and can arrange a transfer from the station if you need one.

Delivered at the accredited training centre at Rings End, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, PE13 4DE. CPCS courses can only be held at an accredited centre and cannot be delivered at your own premises.

1 to 2 days depending on the route taken, including your test day
