The aerial device requires preventative maintenance regularly that includes the visual, operational, and load tests as outlined in the NFPA 1911 which also includes the hands-on portion for the student by delving into an aerial device. A sound vehicle maintenance and testing program is important to government agencies of all sizes. That’s why understanding the proper aerial maintenance and testing is so important.
The course provides da iscussion of the EVT test-taking process so that even taking the test may be understood to be an educational experience. The goal is not only to prepare the student to pass the test but to help the student develop a mindset that allows them to perform better as a technician in their role of servicing and repairing emergency vehicles.
This course applies to drivers/operators, engineers, training officers, and apparatus committee members.
