Course Overview

This course has been developed to give participants the knowledge and skills to operate elevating work platforms which are not classified as requiring a high risk work (HRW) licence. If you need to operate boom lifts beyond 11m, please see our EWP combined RII/High Risk Program.

If you require this unit for the purpose of mining, please see the EWP High Risk Program that includes a combined training option which will include TLILIC2005. Where you will be operating a machine on-site that has the capacity to operate over 11 metres, we recommend the High Risk option.  Please seek advice from your employer or site regarding safety obligations.

*The unit RIIHAN301E – Operating Elevating Work Platform covers the operation of a range of elevating work platforms under 11m.  The specific plant used in our training courses are specific to yellow card. If you are operating over 11 metres in any industry, you will need to look at our High Risk option. All Australian work sites have an obligation to induct new workers on the plant they are required to use. However, we do recommend that workers check with their employer as to the applicability of any training related to on-site plant and equipment, as well as any site-specific training requirements.

Competent students can request a card detailing the unit of competency and the class of machines they were trained and assessed in. An additional fee will apply to issue the card.

For on-site training (group courses) we can contextualise the training to the specific plant being used on site.
