Online Licence Courses for High Risk Work & Earthmoving Plant

Your Licence offers 100% online licence courses which cover off on the theory and calculations training components that are required as part of High Risk Work & Earthmoving Plant Licensing courses. These online offerings help you to meet all your COVID-19 compliance requirements for remote learning, and will save you time in the classroom.

These courses prepare students for their official assessments and collect evidence of formative training and learning, comprising a substantial portion of the training required to obtain licensing and certification. They are based on the national competency standards accredited by the state and national training authorities.

Course components:

Our online licence courses include:

• An interactive learners guide covering off on all required theory and calculations specified by the relevant unit of competency
• Practice exams to prepare students for formal theory assessment they will undertake as part of their formal accreditation course
• An online theory assessment which helps to check that the student has read and understood all content within their learners guide
• Relevant additional resources such as information sheets, report templates and/or activity sheets

When the learner has worked their way through their learners guide and successfully completed their theory assessment they will be issued a certificate of completion as proof of training.

Note: these courses do not cover the practical components of this unit of competency, and completion of these courses alone do not qualify a student to obtain a licence. Students completing this training should concurrently be enrolled in a formal licensing course. 

The following online licence courses are coming soon:

• Excavator
• Skid Steer Loader
• Dogging (DG)

Information about your High Risk Work Licence

In accordance with Australian legislation, any person performing high risk work must hold a relevant licence – unless they have an active training enrolment with an RTO.  High risk work includes, but is not limited to:

• Working with cranes
• Dogging
• Rigging
• Scaffolding
• Hoist operations – including personnel and materials hoists and elevated work platforms

Only Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) approved by WorkSafe can deliver training and assessment for High Risk Work Licences. The training and assessment must be delivered under the supervision of an RTO but practical training can occur in the workplace.

Your High Risk Licence is valid for five years, and is recognised across all states and territories within Australia.

Sometimes, employers will require additional proof that an operator is competent to perform the tasks and operate machinery in an allocated job role.  This can be in the form of Verification of Competency (V.O.C.), which allows you to demonstrate your current level of ability.
