RII30820 Certificate III in Civil Construction Plant Operations is a 36-month qualification which includes the units required for a skilled plant operator working within the civil construction industry. It consists of 15 mandatory core units, and 5 elective units.
This qualification is funded by The Department of Training and Workforce Development.
Delivery and Assessment
There are theory and practical training and assessment components to this course.
The trainer will attend one day per month for on-site training and assessment tasks. Students are to complete the theory components in-between visits, and are required to log hours spent on machinery for their elective units.
If a student has already completed a unit within the qualification (units with the same unit code), a credit transfer will be applied.
Students will receive a learning package of 1-2 units at a time, including all the learning materials needed plus log book.
Entry Requirements
Students must be WA residents employed in the civil construction industry and hold a Construction Induction White Card.
Students also need to demonstrate adequate Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) skills. We need to be notified if a student may require additional assistance or has specific needs that could affect their capacity to complete the course.
ENROLMENT & Payment
