What Is The Slinger/Signaller (A40) Course?

The Slinger/Signaller is one of the most important jobs on a construction site. It requires a high degree of skill, diligence and concentration. Working alongside the lifting teams, Slinger/Signallers provide safe direction to the crane operators. Their main responsibility is to ensure the safety of the operators and any other workers on-site visitors that could be at risk.

What happens on a Slinger Signaller Course in Warwickshire?

Most CPCS courses will run in the following format:

• Day 1 – mostly theory-based classroom training. This is to ensure that you are confident with the theory aspect before you go out and complete the practical training. Depending on how your theory learning goes, you may get practical training for some of the day on your first day.
• The next 2 days of learning is usually putting your theory knowledge into practice by completing the practical exercises of your training.
• On the final day of your course, you will complete your theory test preparation by completing mock exam questions, and then complete your actual assessment: the CPCS technical tests.
