AIMS AND OUTCOMES
The Stage 3 Offshore Crane Operator Assessment is an internationally recognised and accepted assessment strategy for offshore crane operators. Candidates will be required to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and practical skills to successfully complete the assessment process and be deemed competent to work safely and effectively unsupervised
The Stage 3 Offshore Crane Operator Re-Assessment course is used to assess the continued competence of offshore crane operators. BS 7121 Part 11 states that an offshore crane operators’ competence should be
re-assessed every 2 years. The practical assessment can be conducted on a crane simulator. If the practical assessment is to be carried out on the worksite using an offshore-rated crane to carry out lifting operations, this is to be provided by the candidate or their sponsor.
