RIIHAN301E – Operate Elevating Work Platform

National Recognition Logo

RIIHAN301E - This unit does not meet the requirements of the National High-Risk work requirements, and as such, people considering undertaking this qualification need to confirm that the educational outcomes of this course meet the legislative requirements of their workplace.

Please note that this is the nationally recognised unit of competence. It is recognised and accepted throughout Australia. Please be aware that “Yellow Cards” are issued by an industry body outside of the VET system. You do not require a Yellow Card to operate an EWP or scissor lift. This is a common misconception.

Course Overview: This unit is designed for participants to gain the necessary skills to plan, prepare, and complete operations on an Elevated Work Platform, also known as a “Scissor Lift”. On completion of this course participants will be able to conduct routine checks; plan work; check controls, operate, and shut down an EWP.

Course Cost: This course attracts a fee of $500.00 per participant and is GST exempt. These fees cover all training, assessment, use of machinery/equipment, stationary (books, pens, use of calculator and resources) and most importantly, the amazing experience.

 A 50% deposit is required when making a booking as spaces are limited. Corporate rates and group pricing is also available.

Deposits are fully refundable if your booking is cancelled within more than 7 days’ notice. If the booking is cancelled within seven or less days’ notice, then only 50% of the booking fee is refundable.

The full course fee must be paid prior to the final assessment and prior to issuing any official course outcome documentation (Statement of Attainment). In the event that we have not received the full payment, we will withhold the documentation which will then be sent via Registered Mail upon receipt of payment, at no additional cost. Upon completion of the course, the participant will be issued a statement of attainment in the above unit.
