As an example of the basic maths a learner would need to be able to do to satisfactorily complete this course with us, see the problem below;
You are going to use an EWP to do repair work. The EWP is rated at 250kg. You weigh 85kg and your coworker weighs 97kg.
What weight in tools can you have with you to do the work?
Answer: No more than 68kg (e.g. 250 − 85 − 97 = 68, or 85 + 97 = 182, then 250 − 182 = 68)
In order to complete the required calculations, learners will need to have a basic understanding of the following mathematical operations before the course – addition and subtraction. The calculations in the course have written questions. Calculators are supplied and used during training and assessment.
