About the AP course
Every lifting operation needs a planned, supervised lift, and the Appointed Person is the one who owns that plan. This course trains delegates to produce lifting plans, select cranes and accessories, assess ground and exclusion zones, and manage the lift team through to completion — the role CDM and BS 7121 expect on anything beyond a basic lift.
