The Pre-Employment Mobile Crane program is designed to give you an alternative route to enter the Crane and Hoist Equipment Operator trade. This program covers all course materials taught in apprenticeship-level, first-year technical training for the Crane and Hoist Equipment Operator - Mobile Crane, and Crane and Hoist Equipment Operator - Boom Truck Apprenticeships as well as additional value-add programming which focuses on safety and field operations. Students in this program will be provided with the opportunity to operate cranes in both a simulated, and field environment. They will operate various types of mobile cranes: all-terrain, rough-terrain, lattice-boom crawler (simulated), and swing-cab boom truck. The program prepares students to enter into an apprenticeship with hands-on skills. Upon successful completion of the program, students will qualify to challenge the first-year Crane and Hoisting Equipment Operator - Boom Truck Crane and Hoist Equipment Operator - Mobile Crane apprenticeship exam. Upon successful completion of this program, you will be eligible to write the first-period apprenticeship exam and will earn a SAIT Pre-Employment Mobile Crane Certificate. Students will then be able to seek employment within the industry, which may lead to enrollment in an apprenticeship.
