This 3-day, 8h per day, face-to-face course combines theory and practical training delivered by experienced trainers with current industry knowledge. Students will develop the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a boom-type elevating work platform.

Training is delivered in two sections:

• Theory training and assessment – covering knowledge requirements, workplace safety, and operational procedures
• Practical training with demonstration and assessment – hands-on operation of the equipment under trainer supervision

The course uses a blended learning approach, including face-to-face exercises, workplace simulations, and integrated knowledge assessments, ensuring students gain the competency, confidence, and safety awareness needed to operate the equipment effectively in the workplace.

Assessment Methods

Assessment is conducted by qualified assessors using a combination of tools and methods, in accordance with the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity, reliability) and the rules of evidence (valid, sufficient, current, authentic). Students will be assessed as either Competent or Not Yet Competent based on their performance against the unit requirements. Assessment methods may include:

• Direct observation of practical skills and tasks during training exercises
• Verbal questioning to assess underpinning knowledge
• Written responses to theory-based questions
• Portfolio evidence, including completed workplace documents or work samples
• A combination of the above methods
