On paper maybe you can, I don’t really know, but I’d say you really have to take a course to learn the basics. There’re a lot of responsibilities and risk involved and I’d say that employers wouldn’t be willing to take any risks.05-Sep-2017

starting out on tower cranes
Sorry if this topic has been coverd already but i am currently intrested in training to become a tower crane operator . I have looked into getting a cpcs red card and then moving onto blue card. I am unsure what happens with my job prospects between having my red card and blue card as i am not currently working in construction. Do companys hire red card holders? If not how would i go about getting experiance for my blue card? The only information i could find was about apprenticeships but i am 29 so too old to join one. Thanks for your time if anyone can give some advice
