The Massachusetts Approved Hoisting 2A/1C Test Prep classes are designed to prepare students for the 2A and 1C hoisting exams. These classes cover essential topics, including safety protocols, equipment operation, maintenance, and regulations. With industry experience instructors (who hold valid hoisting licenses) and our comprehensive study materials, students gain the knowledge and confidence needed to pass the exams and obtain their licenses.

Whether you are new to the field or looking to upgrade your skills, these test prep classes provide the support and training necessary for success.

2A hoisting license allows the holder to operate crawler and rubber-tired excavators, backhoes, and loaders, including combination loader/backhoe machines, front-end loaders, bobcats, and uni-loaders and compact hoisting machinery with a gross vehicle weight not exceeding 10,000 pounds (excluding Class 1, Class 3, and Class 4 Hoisting Machinery) 

1C license allows the holder to operate equipment with hydraulic telescoping booms and any other hydraulic equipment designed for the purpose of hoisting, excluding those with wire rope hoist lines and all equipment listed in class 1D. (General industrial warehouse Fork Lift equipment primarily used in indoor facilities.) 

Hoisting license applicants must be 18 years old, complete an application, and successfully pass an exam, administered by the OPSI (Office of Public Safety and Inspections). To pass, you must earn a minimum grade of 70%. This exam will cover all working parts of hoisting machinery, safe operating practices, hand signals, and inspection procedures. Licenses must be renewed every 2 years.

This 16-hour (actual hours may vary depending on number of students) program is designed to offer advanced training to anyone involved with the testing and maintenance of fiber optic networks. A focal point in the program is to offer a general, easy to understand, approach to fiber optics testing standards with little theory and considerable hands-on activities. This comprehensive program explains the variety of testing standards, equipment and technological approaches used in fiber network testing and splicing and how to choose among them. This 85% hands-on course explores the overall spectrum of testing and maintenance of singlemode fiber optic networks, and provides a detailed overview and demonstration of various pieces of equipment used in testing and maintenance. Subject matter includes a detailed study of ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-(7)A, OTDR fundamentals and uses, OTDR vs. Insertion Loss Testing, Return Loss Testing, and Attenuation testing using the Power Source and Light Meter.

This course is recognized by The US Department of Labor and is sanctioned by the Fiber Optic Association (FOA).

This 16 hour (actual hours may vary depending on number of students) Splicing Specialist Training includes a complete PowerPoint presentation explaining the importance of high-performance splicing and further details the points necessary to achieve these splices. The depth of this presentation is much greater than most textbooks and provides background information about splicing that is very important to the student. An overview of OTDR functions and trace understanding is also provided during this presentation. 85% hands-on classroom activities will provide training in both fusion and mechanical splicing of either single or multimode fiber optic cables.

Inside or outside plant fiber optic cable types will be utilized at the instructor's discretion during these hands-on sessions along with fiber optics enclosures and splice trays. The student will be responsible for successfully making and testing both mechanical and fusion splices. In addition to the basic splicing activities outlined above, the student will further be required to correctly and efficiently install spliced fibers into splice trays and enclosures. The student will further be required to achieve a splice loss of less than 0.15 dB for all splices and demonstrate proficiency in interpretation of splice loss using OTDR splice traces.
