I`m being tested next tuesday for my certificates of competency for front end loader and excavator.
Jeeeeeeeez, I hope I pass. It`s all changed here now, it used to be a 10 question multiple choice test, then a quick operate and you were done.
Now, it`s 120 questions. 8 pages of mathematical formulas on how ascertain whether a wire sling has had it, and 4 sentences on loading trucks.
It`s tough to find the time to study doing 60 - 70 hour weeks. Most of the theory stuff I`ve never used, and as a mug sand miner, never will.
But... It`s whats required so be it.
It`s also costing me $850 for the testing all up. with our machines...
