I decided to do this course back I june because of a deteriorating back complaint and wanted to get out of heavy lifting for a living. I was assured over the phone that the pass rate was 90% and if english was my first language there wouldnt be any problems. Their sites also boasts this lie. On my first day my I overheard many times from instructors that this was the biggest class they ever had but they would manage anyway. They "managed" by putting a 3rd of us on rotating breaks during the practical training in the mornings... The class room theory training seemed to be slightly better, or so it seemed. We only got around to leaning Load Charts ( on third of the exam ) the day before the exam. The class room was filled up with another school who came in for a 2day refresher course. It was noisy and difficult to understand anything. I told the instructor I didnt understand and in my mock tests I wasnt getting any of them right. Nobody cared.I went into the exams the next day and got a 40% test score. The core examination showed how my 3 weeks was wasted further, almost nothing I had been taught came up in the exam. I bluffed my way though it. Naturally I failed the the practical, How was I going to pass it with less than 5 hours experience in 3 weeks? With accommodation and interest to add, this 3 week crane course ( 4 & half day week ) comes in at almost $10000... I managed to pass half the course in the end, I have heard from 10 of my classmates so far that I was one of the lucky ones. We have agreed that going here was a total rip off...Ill probably sue.
