Operate Elevating Work Platform

Elevated Work Platform operation is classified as high risk work and therefore legislation requires workers to be assessed for competency.

This course is delivered by experienced trainers/assessor and awards participants with a Statement of Attainment and a Wallet sized competency card on successful completion.

Training and assessment delivered in Partnership with Achieve Training & Assessment Services RTO 90659

This course is designed for operators who will be working under the height of 11 metres or operating Scissor Lifts where a SafeWork NSW Certificate of Competency is not required.

Note that for EWP under 11 Metres we offer the RIIHAN301E (for which a Statement of Attainment is issued) OR the EWPA Yellow card course.  They are two different courses and this will need to be identified when booking.

• EWPA Yellow Card is NOT a Nationally Recognised Unit of Competency but a Nationally Recognised course.  Students will only receive the EWPA Yellow card with the specific machines they have completed on their cards e.g. SL; BL; TL.

•  RIIHAN301E Operate Elevating Work Platform (under 11 metres) IS a Nationally Recognised Unit of Competency course.  Students will receive a Statement of Attainment with the Unit of Competency only (not machine specific on their Certificate) from the authorising RTO.

A Yellow Card allows the operation of the following machines:

Machine Classes to Choose From 

A different ticket is required for each class. At the time of booking you are required to advise which machine(s) you would like training for:

An additional $100 applies for each additional machine booked on the same day. Up to 3 machines can be trained in one day, depending on class size.
