00 - The Modular Approach

INTRODUCTION
The SpanSet Modular Training approach has been set up to offer a clearer explanation of the options available in height safety training. This should make choosing the correct training for your staff quicker and easier. It will also allow you to demonstrate clearly to your client the level of training and the topics that are covered.

Each Module sets out the following;

The course duration
Trainee to instructor ratio
Course content
Course content spilt between theory and practical sessions
The equipment that is utilized during training

If the modules are selected carefully you will be able to tailor your own course from standard modules.

This provides you with a unique product at standard prices with proven consistency and quality.

HOW IT WORKS
The basis of all the courses is Module 01 the Height Safety Equipment and Inspection course. This provides all trainees with a solid foundation in safe work at heights from which they then move on to the practical module to complete their competency. The practical module is one chosen to best suit their needs.

Trainees can then choose extra modules to further enhance their qualifications and skills. This also allows employers to have better skilled employees with specific height training.

To progress to other modules you must successfully complete all pre-requisites as stated for each module.

CERTIFICATION
A statement of attainment in MNMG237A Work Safely at Heights will be gained by each candidate once they have completed module one in conjunction with a practical module. Module records will be kept by SpanSet.

TAILOR MADE COURSES
SpanSet can if requested specially tailor make courses to suit your requirements. We try to match your needs off current modules and add in extra components as you require.

When integrated with standard modules you are able to get the highest level of consistency with the costs of tailor making being kept to a minimum.
