Class C Elevating Devices Mechanic Program Outline Change

The Class C Elevating Devices Mechanic program outline will be changing, based on changes ITABC made to the Millwright (Level 1 & 2, effective March 2017) and Construction Electrician (Level 1 & 2, effective October 2020) program outlines. The major proposed changes include:

• Removal of machine hydraulics from the ITA Millwright program outline and therefore the Class C program outline, representing the removal of approximately 20 hours of class time from the Class C program outline.
• Addition of 14 hours to the overall class time in the Class C program outline as a result of additions to the ITA Millwright (Level 1 & 2) program outline
• Addition of 19 hours to the overall class time in the Class C program outline as a result of additions to the ITA Construction Electrician (Level 1 & 2) program outline
• Revision of the Class C elevator mechanic exam content, scheduled for early 2022, including removal of machine hydraulics content, and revisions to reflect additions above.

The complete list of proposed changes to the Class C program outline can be accessed through the background documents on the right.
