Course Overview

Lifts and escalators are essential mobility installations of a building that must operate safely and reliably. Today’s regulatory regime requires passenger lifts to be maintained regularly and to undergo inspection, after which, lift owners must apply to the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) for a permit to operate the lift. This course covers lift and escalator inspection and audit; maintenance; testing; commissioning; as well as the operation of lifts and escalators and their components. Jointly offered by the IES Academy and Temasek Polytechnic, this is one of the endorsed courses under the Progressive Wage Model for the lift & escalator industry and it is required to qualify as a BCA-recognised lift & escalator inspector.
