Professional Training & Assessment for
Heavy Machinery & High Risk Work Licenses

Verification of Competency: issued on all licences including Heavy equipment training in Australia.

Telescopic Material Handler (Gold Card): includes forks, jib, bucket and the man basket.

With the jib, the machine can lift up to 3000 kg so the operator does not have to have High Risk Work Licences (HRW) and a Gold Card is issued.

If the machine can lift over 3000 kg using a jib, the operator must have a minimum of a non slew crane licence (CN). This is only for the jib sector. The Gold Card can still be issued using the forks or bucket or man basket if is not more than 11 metres.

With the Telehandler, if it has a man basket on the machine and it is 11m and over, the operator must have a HRW licence with WP on it and some sites will ask for a Gold Card and Yellow Card.

Yellow Card: for boom type or trailer mount elevated work platforms or trailers under 11 metres, scissor lifts and vertical lifts.

Statement of Attainment: can be issued with the Gold and Yellow Cards. On the completion of a course, all competence base courses will be issued a statement of attainment. This is entered into the Student USI within 30 days, after which the student can access their online record of their achievements.

Note that courses may vary in training length due to company timetables.

We can tailor make a High Risk Work Licences Training and Assessments package to suit your company’s individual needs. A qualified professional training and accredited SafeWork assessor will be provided since the law states that the same person cannot conduct both training and assessing.

SafeWork Assessment Criteria

• You must be 18 years of age.
• All critical questions must be answered correctly and at least 75 percent of non-critical questions must be correct for competency to be achieved.
• You must have access to a machine to perform the performance assessment.
• You must be using a logbook or have a record of training. This is a pre-requisite for all trainees. The assessment will not take place if this is not provided.
• 100 points of identification must be provided on the day of assessment to complete the SafeWork application form.
• We can provide oral assessments for persons with reading and writing difficulties. The assessor will ask the questions and record your responses. This is quite common and there is no need to be embarrassed. You will need to make the assessor aware of this in advance as it must be added to the SafeWork notification.
• You cannot undertake an assessment using an interpreter.
• Each written assessment has a time limit, generally 1 ½ to two hours. This will be indicated in the particular assessment instrument.
• If calculators are required to answer questions within the assessment, they will be provided by the assessor on the day.
• Once you have finished the written assessment, it will be marked before you. If the answers are incomplete, you may be asked to give further information. The assessor will record your response on the test paper.
• If found “competent” by the assessor, you will be issued with an interim ticket/licence for that qualification. You then have 60 days to present this to the post office with the same 100 points of I.D. A passport-size photograph of yourself can be taken at most post offices. SafeWork will then send you your licence in the mail. If this is not done within the 60 days, the qualification is null and void and you will need to be re-assessed.
• If found “not yet competent” (NYC) you will have to wait 48hrs before you can be re-assessed. You will only have to re-sit the section you were found NYC.
• You have the right to contact SafeWork if you are not satisfied with the assessment process and want to have the decision reviewed by SafeWork. Their phone number is 13 10 50.
• All documents must be originals. Photocopies and certified copies will not be accepted. Within the 100 points, you must be able to show your current address, date of birth, signature and one must be a photo I.D. Only one primary document (70 points) will be accepted.
