Good evening everyone. Just some background first. I'm 38 years in the line of Lifting and Rigging. My motto in life is "You are never too old to learn more". The day you think you know everything, then there is a problem. I came to the UAE a few weeks ago and was so blessed that my company sent me for a LEEA Appointed Person course at Talent Training Institute LLC.
At first, I thought it was going to be like an induction training course for 5 days. I must say from day 1, I realized this was the next level of Rigging, Lifting, Safety, Calculations, and more. The training was presented professionally, and all the Facilitators, Assessors, and Moderators were friendly. You can even have a coffee in the classroom.
Thank you Mr. Islam Abdelhafez (Lifting Manager & LEEA APLO Trainer) for your Time and Patience in teaching an old man like me new techniques and facts about Lifting and Crane work.
