Boom Lift & Scissor Lift Training & Certification

Overview

Instructor-led MEWP operator training delivered at your facility, on your own lifts — bilingually in English and Spanish. Every course combines classroom training with videos and PowerPoint presentations, a supervised hands-on operating portion, and a competency quiz with certification records for each operator.

Two MEWP Courses, One Visit

Train operators on boom lifts, scissor lifts, or both — each course is delivered on the equipment your crew actually uses, in the language they learn best.

How Every Course Runs

Classroom first, then the platform — the format OSHA and ANSI MEWP training requirements are built around.

Classroom + platform time is not optional. ANSI/SAIA A92.24 and OSHA's aerial lift rules (29 CFR 1926.453 and 1926.452(w)) expect MEWP operators to receive both formal instruction and supervised hands-on operation with an evaluation on the type of lift they'll use. A video-only or online-only "certification" doesn't satisfy the requirement. Our courses deliver both halves in a single on-site visit — in English or Spanish.

Bilingual Delivery — English & Spanish

OSHA expects training to be delivered in a language and vocabulary workers understand. Our consultants teach the full classroom session, the hands-on operating portion, and the competency quiz in English, Spanish, or both — so every operator on your crew is trained, evaluated, and certified in the language they actually work in, not just handed a translated handout.

Frequently asked questions

Is this training available in Spanish?

Yes — every part of the course is available bilingually. Our consultants deliver the classroom session, the hands-on operating portion, and the competency quiz in English, Spanish, or both, so every operator is trained and certified in the language they understand best.

What rules cover boom lift and scissor lift operator training?

Boom lifts and scissor lifts are mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) covered by the ANSI/SAIA A92 standards — A92.24 for training — and OSHA's scaffold and aerial lift rules (29 CFR 1926.452(w) for scissor lifts and 1926.453 for boom lifts). Together they expect formal instruction, supervised hands-on operation, and an evaluation on the type of lift the operator will use.

Do you train on our lifts or bring your own?

We train on your lifts, at your facility. That's a feature, not a limitation: operators should be trained and evaluated on the equipment, ground conditions, and work zones they'll actually encounter — your lifts, your floors, your overhead hazards.

What does each operator receive at the end?

Every operator completes a competency quiz after the classroom and hands-on portions. Successful operators are certified with completed classroom, hands-on operation, and quiz records — the training and evaluation documentation OSHA and ANSI expect the employer to retain for each MEWP operator.

Can an online-only course certify our scissor lift operators?

No. MEWP training standards expect both formal instruction and supervised hands-on operation with an evaluation on the type of lift the operator will use. An online-only or video-only course can't deliver the hands-on portion — which is exactly why our courses are delivered on-site, on your equipment.

We also have forklifts — can you train those operators too?

Yes. Forklifts fall under a different rule (OSHA's powered industrial truck standard, 29 CFR 1910.178), so they're a separate course — but our consultants can deliver forklift, boom lift, and scissor lift training in the same on-site visit. See our Forklift Operator Training & Certification page.
