UDT operator training: three types of qualification
We run UDT courses for operators of three groups of machines:
- a course for mobile elevating work platforms (cherry pickers, MEWPs)
- a course for telehandlers
- a course for forklift trucks
UDT (Urząd Dozoru Technicznego) is the Polish Office of Technical Inspection. Every course covers a theoretical and a practical part on our equipment and ends with a board exam of the Office of Technical Inspection and a UDT qualification certificate. We train operators individually and whole crews, also at dates adjusted to the company. Our courses are taught in Polish and the UDT exam is held in Polish.
