Hoisting machine operator courses provide an opportunity to gain knowledge in this profession and get a job. Most often, the work of a driver is used during repairs, construction, installation or similar work. The worker's professional responsibilities include operating a lifting machine. The driver must report to the shift foreman or department head. During hoisting machine operator courses, students are taught regulations that contain information for adjusting their duties and work. Also, the worker must know the acts and rules contained in the manual for this specialty. The main work operations are led by the chief engineer, who gives instructions and various orders. In addition, an employee who has completed training in a specialty at a hoisting machine operator course must have a good understanding of the principle of operation of the machine, the structure of the equipment and the diagrams of the lifting mechanism. The driver understands the features of the braking system, rope structure, knows how to work with ropes, and knows all the symbols that are used when working on lifting machines. Lifting equipment can be different, therefore, having received a specialty in a hoisting machine driver course, an employee knows all types of mine hoists, machines for lifting people and other lifts. Also, the professional competence of the driver includes skills in the use of all kinds of lubricants, their properties and methods of application. In addition, the employee must personally participate in all preparations for work; he prepares the equipment, checks the serviceability of all its systems, carries out installation and completion of the work. An employee who services a lifting machine has knowledge not only about the main aspects of working on it, but also understands all its various parts, knows how to replace them, install them and what the purpose of each of them is. The operator also knows not only what directly concerns the control of the lifting machine, but also the entire work process on the site in which he participates. The main task of the hoisting machine driver course is to teach the specialist the rules for operating the equipment, its maintenance, as well as the skills to carry out the necessary repairs of the machine.

The future driver needs to know that work in his specialty may be associated with certain difficulties, which are caused by certain conditions. The driver’s general health and ability to work can be negatively affected by factors such as strong noise and vibration of equipment, air polluted with small particles, the need to remain in one body position for a long time, various loads on various organs, etc. If the working conditions of the hoisting machine operator really turn out to be harmful, a special commission draws up an act according to which the worker is paid compensation. Although hoisting machine operator courses provide the basic knowledge for acquiring this profession, those who have already received an education and are working in their specialty can also receive additional training here. The driver himself may be interested in improving his qualifications, as well as learning some skills and knowledge of specialties that are considered related. Completion of training is marked by the assignment to the employee of a qualification category in accordance with which he will need to work. Whatever level of qualification is assigned, the hoisting machine operator has every chance to further improve his skills by learning on the job. When a driver has reached the seventh grade skill level, he now has the opportunity to become a supervisor of drivers with lower skill levels. During hoisting machine operator courses, attention is paid to the qualities that will help a specialist become a true professional - good eyesight and hearing, responsibility, perseverance, high concentration, the ability to quickly respond to changing circumstances, etc.

During the hoisting machine operator courses, they are taught all the principles of operating equipment, how to move various objects and people, and also, much attention is paid to safety standards that the driver must always follow while working on the machine. Any person who is already eighteen years old and has successfully passed a medical examination at the commission can work in this specialty. In addition to the fact that the worker needs to go through these formalities, he must be aware that the work will require considerable effort and stamina, since a worker's shift can often take about eight hours or even more, and it must be remembered that weather conditions can be extreme. different. The future lifting machine operator must be prepared for this. Hoisting machine operator courses provide knowledge that allows you to understand the features of the equipment and the operation of all kinds of mechanical parts of the machine. The worker knows how to identify the cause of a lifting machine breakdown and repair or replace the required part of the machine. As a result of theoretical and practical training in the courses, a specialist receives the qualifications necessary to work in this profession.

At the Tesla Training Center you can undergo training in the profession of Underground Self-Propelled Machine Operator (abbreviated as PSM Operator). This profession belongs to the mining and capital mining industry, and is also very common and in demand at underground construction sites, such as road and railway tunnels, adits, vertical shafts and other types of underground mine workings. Underground self-propelled operators successfully work at construction sites of new metro stations and microtunnels.

An underground self-propelled machine operator of the 4th category operates underground self-propelled machines of various types and purposes with an internal combustion engine: fuel refueling, roofing, transport machines, cable laying machines, pipe laying machines and other machines when performing auxiliary work. The PSM operator inspects the condition of the mine workings: sides, ledges, trenches, roofing. The operator of underground self-propelled machines (PSM Operator) clears the roof of the mine workings from overhanging boulders and pieces of rock from the lifting device of the roofing machine; installation of rods. The PSM operator monitors the condition of the roof and support in the serviced workings. The PSM operator carries out mechanized cable routing when installing underground communications and laying process pipelines using pipelayer manipulators. The PSM operator delivers fuel and lubricants and refuels self-propelled vehicles with them on the line, and regulates fuel equipment. The PSM driver transports people and various goods to and from the work site. Loading and unloading of transported goods.
