EWP training can improve your job prospects. Have you ever wanted to operate a work platform? In Australia you require a High Risk Work Licence to operate Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs) over 11 meters. However, there are plenty that fall under that limit. These still require training. We offer the VET accredited unit that shows you have the competency to operate these smaller machines. Some employers require a specific training package known as the Yellow Card, please confirm if they need you to have that training package, since many people refer to all EWP training as “Yellow Card” without always meaning it. This course is ideal for construction workers, miners, warehouse personnel, painters, renderers and logistics people. If you need training on specific equipement, contact our office with any questions.

This course will equip you with your EWP/Scissor Lift, allowing you to safely operate in the construction, maintenance and mining industries. This course is perfect for anyone wanting to continue their education and improve their skills within their trade.

So, if you’re currently working in the field or want to improve your chances of employment, look no further! With our small class sizes in our Brisbane facility, our EWP training will help you stand out from the crowd.

Students who pass will receive a Statement of Attainment recognised by the Australian Qualifications Framework. This accreditation is valid throughout Australia. The Statement is given out by ModSkills+ Talented Training (RTO 45144), which is a nationally accredited registered training organisation.
