In the case of courses outside the company's premises, please contact us in advance to arrange convenient dates.In order to make it easier for our trainees to learn and gain qualifications, we have launched some of the classes remotely. The course participant receives login details on a platform, where classes are held live. These take the form of activating the trainees - the instructor asks questions, conducts quizzes/tests from the UDT, discusses examples. In the case of courses on mobile platforms, it is necessary to complete the knowledge and examination in a stationary form, but some of the other courses we organise (for example, those ending with the SEP, SITP, SIMP examination) can be in a completely remote form. Does the course end with an exam? The classes are designed to prepare clients for UDT exams. The qualifications allow you to work in the profession and are valid for 5 or 10 years. Thanks to our many years of experience, we offer support in contact with the UDT Warszawa branch, and if necessary - also with branches throughout the country. If the classes are planned in advance, right after the end of the course, UDT may organize a qualifying exam for its participants. This usually takes place within a maximum of a few working days from the end of the class. This allows participants to take the tests on an ongoing basis, without the need to repeat and recall the material.We offer two options for those who wish to complete the course and take the exam:Scheduling the training close to the next date when the Office organizes the exam (usually up to 30 days)Planning the training so that the students can take the exam the next working day after its end. In this case, please remember to notify your willingness to participate in the course in advance. This may involve additional costs - please contact us for details. I have employees that I want to train. What should I do? Employers often sign up for their employees for training to supplement their qualifications in the operation or maintenance of mobile platforms. They are often people who have already dealt with this type of equipment, but do not have the necessary permissions to perform the work. Employers employing employees with UDT qualifications for the operation and maintenance of platforms may start the implementation of larger and more profitable orders, as well as participate in tenders requiring qualified staff.If you are interested in organizing a course for more employees, please contact us to discuss the details. We will need information such as: the number of people to be trained, their experience in operating or maintaining the equipment, the specifics of the company's operations. Thanks to the diagnosis of needs, we can individually adjust the training program and its duration. Direct contact will also allow us to establish organizational details: where the training will be organized - whether on site, in Warsaw, whether our representative is to come to your headquarters or to the project. I am an individual customer who wants to become a platform operator. What should I do? Participation in a course for a mobile platform operator or a maintenance technician of this type of equipment is an opportunity to acquire qualifications desired on the labor market. Specialists in this field are willingly employed in construction and transport companies, energy companies or equipment services, and you usually do not have to wait long for job offers.We offer individual clients participation in the course in an open form. We encourage you to contact us by phone or e-mail - we will then propose one of the available course dates. They are usually held once a week or every two weeks, depending on interest. During the telephone interview, we ask customers to provide information about their experience in the field of mobile platforms - this allows us to properly select participants in groups and define the topic of classes. After completing the training, each student can take the UDT exam. UDT tests In order to facilitate the preparation for the UDT exam, we offer tests with solutions. The scope and form of the tests are very similar to the questions on the examination of the Office of Technical Inspection.
