Building on the Foundation and basic Skills
This course is designed for more in advanced practices not just for avoidance but also more accurate locates. Learning to utilise these techniques in the field giving those working with cable locators regularly enhanced skills and practice they need to work reliably confidently and safely. Using utility location equipment, we practice using these features and methods to better understand how to improve the quality of the location activities. Our trainers will help you explore and develop the skills to operate advanced equipment safely and effectively.
