Training & Certification

A chair in the stairwell is half of readiness.
The other half is a crew that's done it before the day they need to.

Equipment nobody has practiced with is a liability, not a plan. Outpost trains your team hands-on — on the actual HALO chair and ProMove sling, on your actual stairs — and certifies them, so the answer to “can your people do this?” is documented yes.

The two roles — and why you'd want both

Operator gets your shifts covered. Key Trainer makes you self-sufficient.

HALO Operator certification badge
Tier 1 · for the people on shift
Operator

Hands-on certification to safely operate a HALO chair and ProMove sling.

  • Half- to full-day, on-site — up to ~20 staff per session
  • Live practice with the actual chair and sling, on your real egress route
  • Passenger securing, controlled descent, and safe transfer technique
  • Competency check on every trainee — no one certifies who can't do it
  • Official HALO Operator certificate + entry in your 12-month audit log
The benefit: coverage on every shift. Anyone who might have to run the chair has already done it — before the day it counts.
HALO Key Trainer certification badge
Tier 2 · for your internal trainers
Key Trainer

Train-the-trainer. Certifies your own people to deliver and certify training org-wide.

  • Full-day intensive for a small internal cohort (6–8 people)
  • Teaches the curriculum, the competency assessment, and the paperwork
  • Your trainers can then run Operator training for every new hire
  • Certification authority stays in-house — no waiting on us to onboard
  • Official HALO Key Trainer certificate + badge for each graduate
The benefit: independence and lower long-run cost. Staff turnover never opens a compliance gap, and you're audit-ready all year.
+ Refresher

A short annual refresher keeps every certification and your audit log current between surveys — the recurring touch that keeps your program real, not just a binder on a shelf.

What your team walks away with

Real certification — the kind a surveyor accepts.

Official HALO certificates

Every trainee is certified on the HALO system — Operator or Key Trainer — with a dated, named certificate.

A 12-month audit log

Names, dates, chair serials, and signatures in the binder an ADA reviewer, fire marshal, or insurer asks for.

Trained on your equipment

Certified on the exact chairs and stairs they'll use in an emergency — not a demo unit in a hotel ballroom.

Bundled with your chairs: ProMove sling training folds into the Operator day at no extra charge when slings are deployed with chairs. Sling-only sites get a standalone sling course. Travel is included nationwide from San Diego.

How it works

On your stairs. On shift. Certified the same day.

01
We come to you

A HALO-certified instructor runs the session on-site, on your actual egress route — so your crew trains where they'll operate.

02
Everyone does it

Hands-on reps: securing a passenger, the controlled descent, and the transfer. A competency check on each trainee before they're signed off.

03
You get the proof

Certificates, badges, and the audit-log entry — issued the same day, ready for your emergency-preparedness file.
