This course certifies completion of online theory and a passed knowledge test. The Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority’s regulations for work equipment requiring special caution are based on the principle that relevant training must include both theory and practice. Employers must therefore also provide the necessary practical, on-site, and equipment-specific training and assess whether the employee can perform the task safely. If the assignment requires the formal G11 module as part of certified crane training, the company must verify and implement the correct training program.
