LEEA Foundation Certificate: Closing Skills Gaps in the Lifting Industry
The LEEA Foundation Certificate has been newly revised to provide beginner-level training for professionals entering the lifting industry. This three-day instructor-led course is designed to equip learners with fundamental knowledge of common lifting equipment and key safety practices, ensuring they build confidence and competency.
Real-World Learning and Practical Assessments
To reinforce learning, this course includes immersive case studies, reflecting real-life workplace scenarios. Learners also complete a new assessment and make personal commitments to apply their training in their daily operations, ensuring a direct impact on their work environments.
A Stepping Stone to Advanced Qualifications
Mastering essential lifting equipment fundamentals is just the beginning. This course serves as a vital pre-requisite for LEEA Diplomas, preparing learners for more advanced qualifications in the field. However, it does not qualify participants to conduct inspections or examinations of lifting equipment.
Built for Industry Challenges and Future Growth
Developed with insights from global experts, the revised Foundation Certificate integrates virtual scenarios, interactive learning tools, and immersive case studies to ensure practical problem-solving. With a strong focus on safety, professionalism, and ethical standards, the course guarantees that learners not only meet but exceed industry expectations.
"The revised foundation course takes into account the challenges in the industry and the skills, knowledge and behaviours that learners need to meet those. We hope the revised course gives learners the confidence to take those competencies back into their jobs and perform more safely, whilst carrying out work", Ian Cooke, Director of the Training Academy.
