They differ in the number of training hours and the program, so that everyone receives the range of knowledge they need.

We provide information on prices to clients who are interested in participating in the course and contact us directly. Prices vary for each training topic, price differences are also due to how much time is left before the course starts and how many places are left in the group.

Due to the fact that in the case of training for companies, it is not necessary to complete the entire group, we can offer business clients lower prices than those who sign up for the course individually.

Can I combine the course with a full-time job?

Yes, for working people we organize courses at weekends and during the week in the mornings and afternoons.

In the case of such courses, the client should provide safe conditions, teaching facilities for theoretical and practical classes, and the necessary equipment. The devices used during practical classes should be operational, have a valid periodic technical inspection and should be inspected by a conservator.

Most of the courses include theoretical classes in the form of a lecture and a practical part. Students learn how to use devices, health and safety rules applicable to work with a given device, machine construction, rules of technical supervision, and behavior in the event of a failure.

Practical classes take place with the use of devices and equipment to which the given training relates. They are conducted by the Center's instructor, who shows the trainees individual elements of the devices, teaches them how to use them safely, and shows how to prepare for work. All activities are aimed at preparing for the practical exam, which takes the form of a conversation with the examiner at the device. The teacher assesses the participant on the evaluation sheet, similarly to the exam.

For example, for movable platforms These will be type A and B platforms, self-propelled and slow-moving, scissor lifts and boom lifts. General purpose cranes, hoists and winches for tractors. For forklifts and telescopic loaders - regular counterbalance forklifts, operator's lifting trucks, variable-reach trucks and operator's lifting trucks with loads (Jungheinrich, Linde, Toyota, JCB brands). For courses in the field of overhead traveling cranes - gantry cranes. The equipment is available at the headquarters and branches of the Center, including training halls in Warsaw, Katowice and Krakow.

The duration of the two parts of the course may be different for different groups. We organize classes at various levels of advancement. For inexperienced people, the courses are longer and cover the full range of topics required for the exam. People who only need to supplement and organize their knowledge can take courses with a smaller number of hours. The exact duration times are given in the descriptions of the individual course topics on the website.

The scope of knowledge and skills transferred during the training is consistent with what is required in external exams. The amount of material to be assimilated is quite large and requires - apart from participation in classes - also independent study.

The exam takes the form of a test with closed questions. Additionally, there is a practical exam to check the skills of operating the equipment, preparing for work, and complying with health and safety rules.

The center represents its clients in contacts with the examining body. He acts as an intermediary in setting the date, signs up for the exam, and sends reminders before its date. Thanks to many years of experience, we can plan the dates of the courses so that they are consistent with the dates of the exams. Usually, the waiting time for the exam is optimal - it is about a few working days, which is worth spending on self-study.

Passing the exam and obtaining the qualifications allows you to work on a given device, in accordance with the regulations in force in Poland. Most of the rights are of a temporary nature, after they expire, they must be renewed.

Depending on the type of equipment and the unit issuing the allowances, they are valid for 5 or 10 years.

Before the end of the validity of the rights, the Center - if possible - sends reminders with information about the need to extend, if the student / entity has left their contact details, i.e. phone number and e-mail address.

Powers may be withdrawn or suspended if the person holding them violates the provisions or standards of work safety.

In countries with similar systems of regulation of the profession as in Poland, the qualifications issued by UDT and other units may or may not be honored. It depends on the regulations of the country concerned. For EU countries, the Mutual Recognition Directive applies. In countries such as Switzerland or Norway, Polish qualification certificates can be exchanged for local ones. However, there are countries where documents issued in Poland are not recognizable, and therefore they are not honored even after translation. To avoid such situations, we recommend purchasing an additional certificate issued in English by the UDT - CERT unit. At the Center, we can also, for an additional fee, issue a certificate of completion of training in accordance with international standards - it is also a document widely known in the world.
