What matters on site.

Employed directly by you

German and safety
On site, German and safety instruction matter. In Germany, excavators, wheel loaders and cranes have their own requirements for qualification and authorisation, which your business checks. We tell you in advance which language level is realistic and organise German courses. Third-party services (courses, transport, accommodation) are ordered and paid by you directly; we organise the appointment.
