Distance Learning

Available to all employees of member companies, our highly successful and annually updated distance learning courses will enable you to meet the high standards required to pass the LEEA examinations. Courses start in October.


Courses on offer:

  • Course 1 - Part 1 Foundation Course

    This foundation course does not offer a LEEA qualification for inspection or examination of lifting equipment but must be completed before a delegate can undertake the Diploma or Specialist Module courses.

You will be expected to complete the Part 1 Foundation Course before going on to the specialised subjects.


How long are the courses?

Each course lasts for 20 weeks. You will receive one unit a week to study and will complete one assignment each week.

Your assignments will be marked and returned to you so you can monitor your progress and prepare for your examination.

Please note: Course enrolment does not automatically include examination entry. You should receive your exam entry form in the New Year.


Who can enrol?

The courses are open to all employees of LEEA Members.


What does it cost?

  • Conventional mail – UK

    £365 inc. VAT. This includes everything except text books and other additional reading matter.

  • Conventional mail – overseas

    We recommend that international students use the online training facility, as surface mail is an unreliable method of delivery.


Reference material

Students should have access to the LEEA Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Lifting Equipment. Members can buy this at the discounted price of £90 (overseas postage or courier costs extra).
