2) Move onto more advanced configurations

Now, what other tower configurations would come in handy? Learning to work safely with advanced standard configurations means you can use towers on more challenging sites, overcome obstacles and create larger platforms. There’s a dedicated course for each standard tower configuration. They each last one day and you can do them in any order.

3) Become an access tower specialist​

Collected the full set of qualifications? Until now, you’ve been working with standard towers. That’s the kind that come in a kit with an instruction manual. The final stage in your tower training is to tackle non-standard towers. Access Tower Specialist is the highest qualification available for towers. It opens up new career possibilities, as it allows you to install complex tower structures as a service.
