SASO Training Approval Post - Tamkene Saudi Training Center

In the rapidly evolving industrial landscape of Saudi Arabia, safety and compliance are no longer just "best practices"—they are the backbone of operational success. As the Kingdom marches toward the ambitious goals of Vision 2030, the demand for skilled, certified, and safe heavy equipment operators has never been higher.


At Tamkene, we are proud to announce our specialized SASO-approved Rigging & Heavy Equipment Training and Certification programs. This approval reinforces our commitment to delivering world-class safety standards and ensures that your workforce is compliant with the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) regulations.


Why SASO Approval Matters

SASO is the primary authority in Saudi Arabia responsible for setting the standards that ensure the quality and safety of products, equipment, and services. When it comes to heavy machinery—from cranes and forklifts to excavators and dump trucks—SASO compliance is critical for:

  1. Regulatory Adherence: Ensuring your operations meet the legal frameworks required within the Kingdom.

  2. Safety Assurance: Reducing the risk of onsite accidents through rigorous, standardized training.

  3. Asset Protection: Properly trained operators extend the lifespan of expensive machinery by reducing wear and tear caused by improper use.


Our Training Programs: Precision Meets Excellence

Our basic and extensive SASO-approved courses are designed using the ADDIE methodology, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on practical assessments. We cover a wide range of rigging and heavy equipment, including:

  • Lifting Operations: Crane Operator and Rigger (I, II, and III) training, often dual-certified with LEEA standards.

  • Earthmoving Machinery: Rigid Frame Dumper, Excavator, and Loader operations.

  • Specialized Vehicles: Tractor and Forklift operator training.


What Sets Tamkene Training Apart?

  • Verifiable Certification: Every successful participant receives a certificate equipped with a QR-code verification system, allowing employers or contractors to instantly validate credentials.

  • Expert Instructors: Our trainers are industry veterans who bring years of regional and international experience to the classroom and the practical area.

  • Comprehensive Assessment: We don’t just teach; we evaluate. Our 95-98% passing rate is a testament to our thorough Knowledge and Practical Assessment criteria.

  • Global Standards, Local Expertise: While our courses are SASO-approved, they are also aligned with international benchmarks like OSHA, ISO, LEEA, and ASME, giving your team a competitive edge.
