Get in the Lift.
We’re Right Behind You.
Training at Centura gives you confidence. You learn by doing, step by step, with pros who have been there before. Here’s how.
Gear up.
Before you go up, you get grounded in electrical theory and planning. You practice with real safety gear and learn the OSHA-10 fundamentals every crew expects you to know.
Climb On.
You choose your gear, hook in, and go up. You learn to ascend and descend structures, navigate obstacles at height, and practice pole-top rescues with and without a cross arm. Before you climb solo, you’ll be First Aid and CPR certified.
Run the Line.
You frame aerials, set poles, and rig loads. You tie the knots crews use on live job sites. You trench with excavation equipment and pick the right tool for each job. By now, the pros aren’t behind you, they’re beside you.
WE’RE BUILT FOR THE TRADES.
