HIAB training in Darlington for novice and experienced operators
Darlington sits on the A1(M) and A66, so lorry loaders based here serve construction and engineering sites across the Tees Valley and North Yorkshire.
We deliver ALLMI lorry loader (HIAB) and slinger signaller courses at your premises, on the vehicles and cranes your operators use every day, for up to four candidates per course. Open novice lorry loader courses also run in Milton Keynes.
Total Compliance is an ALLMI-accredited training provider. Courses can also be registered as Driver CPC periodic training.

To whom do we provide ALLMI training in Darlington?
Our Darlington courses suit operators from builders’ merchants and engineering firms around Faverdale and Newton Aycliffe, and slinger signallers working alongside them.
Operators based around Darlington often cover long distances to rural and industrial sites, so we emphasise pre-use checks and safe stowing of the crane for travel.

How does ALLMI training from Total Compliance help your business in Darlington?

What to expect when we train at your site in Darlington
- Tell us how many operators need training, how much lorry loader experience they have, and the cranes and attachments they use. We will book the right course: novice (2 days), experienced or refresher (1 day), conversion (half a day) or slinger signaller (1 day for experienced candidates, 2 days for novices).
- Each candidate is assessed on the attachments they use, because the categories on an ALLMI card are based on the crane’s capacity and its attachment.
- The course ends with ALLMI’s assessment: two theory papers and a practical test on the crane.
- Successful candidates receive a temporary certificate at the end of the course, so they can work straight away. ALLMI then issues their card and certificate, valid for five years, and each candidate keeps the ALLMI Operator’s Manual.
Darlington’s engineering heritage, the Central Park development and the logistics parks off the A1(M) bring operators a mix of town-centre and industrial work.
