More about the program
The truck crane operator course trains specialists from grade 2 through grade 7 — from entry level to handling the heaviest equipment. The program covers chassis and crane-unit construction, hydraulic systems, load charts, and working on unstable ground and in the tight confines of a construction site.
Hands-on classes take place on a real truck crane: trainees practice outrigger setup, lifting and moving loads of varying weight, and assembly operations alongside a rigger. A separate module covers safety instructions and typical emergency scenarios, including hydraulic failure response.
Graduates receive a certificate of vocational qualification award (upgrade) with an assigned grade, ready to start work at any construction or industrial site immediately.
Who the truck crane operator course is for
The truck crane operator course at Profesiina Osvita in Odesa is for people who want to work with mobile lifting equipment — in construction, structural assembly or logistics. It suits confident drivers ready to take on specialized machinery and greater responsibility.
What you study
The program covers truck crane design: chassis, slewing platform, telescopic boom, hydraulics and safety devices. You learn to read load charts, prepare the work area, set up on outriggers, work on uneven ground and near power lines, and carry out assembly work with a rigger in line with safety instructions.
Certificate and training format
Theory is combined with hands-on practice on an actual truck crane. After training and a qualification exam, you receive a certificate of vocational qualification award (upgrade) with an assigned grade (the program covers grades 2–7).
Trainees practice outrigger setup, lifting, moving and lowering loads of different weights, and working with a rigger. The instructor explains why a load must never be lifted without full outrigger setup and how wind or ground slope affect stability. Employers can send groups of their staff for training.
