This course covers basic workplace safety training and provides an introduction to the tilt-up jobsite environment. Math applications, as well as tools and equipment used in the industry will be discussed. Successful students will receive OSHA 10, ACR CPR, First Aid and Forklift Operator qualification cards.

Scaffold erection, aerial lift equipment, and first aid and CPR techniques are the major focus of this training. Safety discussions will cover hazard recognition and prevention methods. In addition to CPR practice, task assignments utilize inspection, scaffold assembly-disassembly, and aerial lift safe operating procedures. Students that successfully complete training will receive scaffold-aerial lift qualification and ARC certification cards.

This class will introduce the various types of bond breakers used in the industry. Product catalogs will be used to review the proper use of each product. Safety on the lifting and bracing of wall panels will be discussed in detail. Manufactures specification on specific hardware in securing temporary braces will also be covered. Review all safety aspects of rigging and setting panels with the crane.

This class teaches students how to set and form footing forms based on blueprints and shop drawings. Also included will be a discussion on forming methods on slab construction, stressing the importance of a level slab for casting tilt-up panels.

This course is designed to give an overview of the Tilt-up industry. Forming techniques for walls, windows and door bucks will be covered. Tilt up hardware, panel raising hazards, and job site safety will be discussed.

This course will focus on the layout technique for a typical tilt-up panel through tilt-up blueprints and specifications. Students will also learn to identify specific hardware and its application for tilt-up construction.

This class will cover layout techniques on a typical tilt up panel and the importance of 3-4-5 methods in squaring a panel. Identifying specific openings and the location of finish floor lines and roof lines through blueprint reading will be included.

This class uses blueprints and shop drawings to teach students building layout techniques using builders and laser levels to set up batter boards marking the building footprint. Students will have hands-on experience in acquiring layout skills and marking out the location of the building foundation.

This course will assist the student in forming various types of complex forms related to tilt-up panels. Job safety will also be emphasized. Students will learn formulas to calculate concrete volume for tilt-up panels. Proper rigging techniques and calculations will be covered.

This course presents the forming methods and techniques used in the construction of reinforced concrete walls and columns. Form design, print reading, estimating, and hands-on projects for single and double-waler forming systems will be included. Students will be introduced to safe operating and cutting procedures for the oxygen-acetylene torch.

This course provides the students with the methods, procedures and practices used to form stair and ramp structures. Formwork types, building codes, layout techniques, and construction procedures will be presented during the training. Students will use print dimensions to determine materials and calculate rise and run for the selected stair and ramp construction project. State and Federal building codes pertaining to stairs and ramps will be covered in this class.

This course covers the forming methods and techniques used in the construction of site work, curbs and gutters. Site work layout, elevation, and construction practices will be presented. Jobsite safety, print interpretation, material identification and site preparation will be included in the training. Students will construct sidewalk, curb and gutter forms to prints specifications.
