This one-year apprenticeship, delivered in person at SAIT's Point Trotter Campus through the School of Transportation, trains apprentices to service and operate the hoist and swing equipment used to move machinery, materials, and other large objects, certifying them to operate booms with a lifting capacity between 5 and 65 tons. The single 12-month period requires a minimum of 1,200 hours of on-the-job training and six weeks of classroom instruction at SAIT.
