Training & Certification Courses - Scomac Associates LLC

At Scomac Associates LLC, we don’t just show up, flip through a PowerPoint, and hand out certificates. We teach people how not to get hurt, get fined, or get shut down. Our classes are designed for the real world — gritty, practical, and taught by someone who’s actually been in the field.

ERSCA-Certified Courses

Standard Duty Towing & Recovery

Learn the right way to hook, load, and transport passenger vehicles safely. We cover tools, techniques, and recovery scenarios that match what you face every day on the road.

Heavy Duty Towing & Recovery

From buses to big rigs, this class teaches the heavy stuff — safely lifting, winching, and recovering large vehicles with rotators and wreckers. Real-world technique meets certified training.

Advanced Winch & Rigging Safety (Standard & Heavy Duty)

We dig deep into rigging math, anchor points, and complex recovery setups. It’s part physics, part experience — and every bit critical when things get risky.

Electric Vehicle Operations Training

EVs are here to stay. This class covers the hazards you need to know — from fire risks to safe loading, with a special focus on manufacturer guidelines and battery safety zones.

Note: All ERSCA classes are taught by a certified ERSCA instructor. Learn more about the ERSCA training system at ersca.org.

Additional Courses We Offer

Forklift Operator Safety Training

OSHA-compliant forklift training that covers inspections, load balance, operator responsibilities, and hazard avoidance. Includes practical evaluations and certificates upon completion.

MEWP Training (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms)

Boom lifts, scissor lifts, harness use, ground controls, and safe operation protocols. Ideal for anyone working at height or supervising elevated work crews.

DOT Hours of Service (HOS) Training

A 4-hour class that breaks down logbooks, on-duty/off-duty definitions, and how to avoid violations that lead to fines or OOS orders. Good for drivers and managers alike.

Pre-Trip Inspection Workshop

Hands-on training that walks students through the proper way to perform a pre-trip and post-trip inspection. DOT-required, safety-critical, and often rushed — we fix that.

Traffic Incident Management (TIMS) Training

TIMS helps responders coordinate safely and effectively during roadway incidents. We teach best practices for scene setup, responder safety, and working alongside fire, EMS, and law enforcement. Required by many municipalities and a must for towers and recovery teams.

Custom Safety Programs

Got a unique fleet or jobsite? We can build a training session around your operation. Includes safety coaching, policy reviews, and tailored instruction — on-site and in plain English.
