The cost includes all training and a full set of instruction manuals, certificate of attendance, lunch for two days and light refreshments during the course hours.

Places are capped at 16, a number carefully calculated to be the optimum student/instructor ratio for this type of course, and ensuring that attendees receive the maximum attention.

The motor school will be presented by LTM’s Dave Ward and John Jones in the company’s specially designed training room. The format is “no-nonsense hands-on and practical,” as LTM put it, designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the CM Lodestar hoist.

It will familiarise users and specifiers with operational theory, design philosophy, safety aspects, internal workings and trouble-shooting methods of the Lodestar.

“It also offers the chance to get dirty and completely strip a hoist down to its component parts, and then re-build and operate it, in the process unravelling the mysteries of the machine,” LTM added. A full set of manuals and course notes is also provided.

As well as the Merseyside-based motor schools, LTM will be holding several schools abroad throughout 2008, kicking off with two in South Africa, at DWR Distribution and Gearhouse SA at the end of February. More details will follow later in the year.
