As far as i'm aware i don't think it makes any difference if your inside or outside. I don't think they do different courses for inside or outside. Your Certificate if you pass will just show Slinger/Banksman

The only thing you need to think about is what category they will be issuing. As a CPCS tester my self they have different categories, for example:

  • A40A– All Types – all duties
  • A40B– All Types – Static duties
  • A40C– Knuckle boom static only
  • A40D– Excavator only
  • A40E– Lift truck only

Which would they limit what you can undertake.
