What does the examination look like?
In order to obtain a maintenance and/or operator licence, you must go to the Office of Technical Inspection and pass a state examination before an examination board.
The prerequisites for taking the training and exam are:
- the provision of a medical certificate of fitness to work at a height of more than 3 metres,
- reaching the age of majority,
- have a minimum of primary education,
- Bringing your identity card with you.
After submitting an application to take the UDT exam and showing your ID card, we should know the date for taking the exam within 30 days. The exam consists of a practical part and a theoretical part, which consists of answering questions in writing. Once you have passed the theoretical part, you will be able to take the practical part and demonstrate the skills you have acquired on the manoeuvring area.
Training for all types of mobile platforms
We provide training for all types of mobile platforms, so our trainees will be able to realise themselves as operators and/or maintainers for any type of this equipment at the centre.
What are the types of entitlements?
There are two types of entitlements at technical facilities, these are:
- operating authorisation - this type of entitlement is required of the operator or driver,
- maintenance authorisations - required for the maintenance position, which carries out all repair work.
Of course, one person can hold both qualifications for the job, but to become a maintainer of a piece of equipment, you need to be qualified to operate it to begin with.
