The centre offers theory and practical testing for the new A66 category for compact cranes under 10t, as well as a computer room for a standard UK computer-based health and safety theory test.
GGR-UNIC managing director Gill Riley said: “We’ve worked closely with MCG and ConstructionSkills to help develop the new training category and a lot of effort has gone into making sure our training and testing centre really is a centre of excellence within the industry. Mini cranes are user-friendly machines, but there are inherent dangers in all lifting operations.”
The centre also offers training courses.
