Become a Certified Locator

If you are an experienced locator, this certification is highly recommended.

You will have an international recognized industry qualification, being distinguished from "DIY" or self-authorized locators.

To obtain the certification, locators will have to accomplish a self-assessment (FOR FREE) plus theoretical and practical tests conducted by an independent certified assessor.

Get Certified

Training

If you are an inexperienced or new locator it is highly recommended that you complete the Locate Management online training course “Utility Advanced Line Locating (UALL)” as a first step.

The online training course provides an excellent foundation for aspiring locators and will give you a sound knowledge base prior to enrolling into a face-to-face training course.
