This course aims to teach participants the skills and knowledge required to operate a boom-type elevated work platform (EW) safely in accordance with all relevant legislative requirements. You will be trained and assessed to the nationally recognised standard of TLILIC0005. You will be required to achieve full competency in this unit to receive a statement of attainment.

Your formal training will take three days to complete. On your first day of training, you will be provided with a Student Workbook. You will complete this workbook under the direct supervision of a Martyr Training Services Trainer and Assessor.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify and control risks and hazards in the work area.
  • Locate and interpret relevant documentation (e.g., logbook)
  • Select and inspect relevant equipment (e.g., barricades, firefighting equipment)
  • Conduct all mandatory checks (pre-operational, operational, and post-operational) on an EWP
  • Operate an EWP

You will need to successfully demonstrate your skills and knowledge by:

  • Completing the full course three-day course, including both the theory and performance components,
  • Documenting the use of an EWP on more than one occasion while under the direct supervisor,
  • Maintaining a logbook detailing operations, under direct supervision, and
  • Completing a series of JSA, pre-start checks, and challenge tests.

Your final assessment will consist of a mandated Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) licensed assessment instrument. This assessment is CLOSED BOOK and must be completed without reference to learning material. This assessment consists of three sections: knowledge assessment, calculations assessment, and performance assessment.

To achieve a satisfactory result on the mandated assessment, you must achieve a benchmark of:

  • A result of95% (a minimum of 60 correct answers) on the knowledge assessment,
  • A result of100% on the calculations assessment, and
  • A result of100% in the mandated performance assessment.

Please be advised that competency in this unit does not result in a HRWL to operate this plant. Participants can apply for a HRWL through the Queensland Government website. An application fee applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but currently Queensland Transport will grant three hours of logbook time for each hour with an accredited instructor for up to 10 hours. This means that just ten lessons with one of our trainers will make up 30 hours in the logbook.

While it is not a requirement to have lessons with an accredited assessor, it does offer invaluable experience for first-time drivers. Our experienced driving instructors are trained well above industry standard and participate in ongoing professional development and support – they are up to date with any changes in road rules. At Martyr Training Services, your safety is our priority. All of our vehicles are dual-controlled, meaning our assessors can step in to prevent an accident if needed.

Some people may only require one or two lessons, others may require more – it will depend on your driving experience, the frequency of driving lessons, and your confidence on the road. Your driving instructor will advise you of recommendations after each lesson.

We sure can! Please note, Queensland Transport charges a booking fee, which is be additional to the cost of your test. If you cancel your driving test, you will be refunded the amount less the booking surcharge.

Absolutely! This is something that all driver trainers should offer free of charge. When you book your driving test, just provide us with a pick-up and drop-off destination.

While we have given this a significant amount of consideration, this is not an option that we will be offering any time soon. We do not believe that it is in the best interest of our students to offer training in a vehicle that is not fitted with dual-control safety breaks. We understand how scary it can be getting behind the wheel for the first time, and we know that anxiousness can lead to simple mistakes. When you learn in a Martyr Training vehicle, our driver trainer is able to step in as needed to avoid accidents before the happen. At MTS, we have your safety in mind.

Are you an experienced operator who does not hold a current nationally recognised ticket in this plant? You might be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning! Contact our friendly team to find out more.
