Please note: To signup , please call: 07 4242 1135 or  0409471817

What is Earthmoving?

Some examples:

  • Trench excavation
  • Stripping/Spreading
  • Mixing and backfilling
  • Stockpiling
  • Bulk excavation
  • Loading & Hauling of excavated materials


Who needs an earthmoving ticket?

In general, a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) must ensure that people engaged in earthmoving must have received sufficient training, instruction and information to correctly follow the specific procedures using some discretion and judgment and relevant theoretical knowledge.

RII Tickets Nationally Accepted

Certificates of competency from the Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package (RII09) is now the industry standard and is a requirement for the vast majority of employers operating in the civil construction industry, many employers will no longer recognise the old National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NHOSC) class of plant operating tickets.

Prerequisites

  • Photo ID (call us if not sure)
  • Over 15 years of age
  • Proficient in English reading & writing
  • Steel capped work boots and Hi-vis

Course Outline

Each machinery ticket consists of 5 parts:

  1. Theory (online or paper based)
  2. Pre-start questionnaire
  3. Take 5 questionnaire
  4. Practical Training
  5. Written assessment

All 5 parts need to be successfully completed before a certificate and card will be issued.

For the practical training, each machine has tasks that will need to be accomplished to a least the Australian training standards.


How long does it take?

Tickets are competency based so times may vary depending on your experience and ability to learn each machine.

Approx Times Required below.

1 Ticket                 1-2 Days

2 Tickets               2-3 Days

3 Tickets               2-4 Days

4 Tickets               2-5 Days

5 + Tickets            2-6 Days

What is the training like?

In most cases the training and assessment is one on one, or in small groups. Our trainers and assessors have significant industry experience which ensures that you are taught by the experts.


How much does it cost

Pricing depends on experience, how many courses you want to do (extra discount for every extra course you do), possible discount if you have already done a course with us, etc. Please call 0409 471 817 for an obligation free quote.

Do I need to renew my old tickets? What about VOCs?

You do not need to renew or upgrade your qualification once it has been issued, however larger construction companies may require that you undertake a process called Verification of Competency (VOC) prior to commencing work on site or upgrade to the newer RII tickets. CTS undertakes VOC’s for all types of construction plant and equipment.
