Frequently asked questions
How do I enrol?
Head to the course page and complete our online enrolment form, or you can also access this from our course calendar list.
If you can’t see the course you’re looking for in the calendar, or you’re unable to make any of our scheduled dates, get in touch and we can discuss scheduling another course.
Will my tickets expire?
Your mobile plant tickets and skills tickets do not have an expiry, however every few years the unit may be updated. For example, RIIMPO320F would become RIIMPO320G. This wouldn’t necessarily mean your ticket is expired, however, some employers may require you to have the updated unit.
For working at heights, confined spaces and gas testing, although your ticket may not be expired, employers often require a refresher course to be done every two years.
For high-risk licences, these need to be renewed every 5 years. You don’t necessarily need to do the course again (although it is a good idea to do a refresher course if you haven’t operated in a while), but like your driver’s licence, you need to pay the renewal fee, or it is no longer a valid licence.
What is a USI & how do I get mine?
A USI is your Unique Student Identifier. If you have done any Nationally Accredited course through an RTO or Tafe from 2015, you will have a USI. Every course you do is linked to your USI, so there is always a record you can easily access.
If you don’t know your USI, you can go to the Forgot my USI page to locate it. Alternatively, you can provide us with your city of birth when enrolling, and we can locate it for you.
If you do not have a USI, you can easily create one through the Get my USI page.
Do you offer on-site training?
Absolutely! If you are looking to book on-site training, please contact us letting us know which course/s you require, how many students would be participating, and the site location. From there, we can provide a quote and availability.
What do I wear and do I need to bring anything on the day?
On the day, you will need to wear long pants and shirt and steel cap boots. Hard hats and vests will be provided when required.
You will need to bring your own lunch, refrigerator and microwave facilities are available. We also provide tea, coffee and water, however students are encouraged to bring their own water bottle.
When will I get my Certificate?
We will issue your Statement of Attainment within 14 days of course completion.
Where are you located?
Our training yard is at 33 North Jindong Road in Carbunup, which is located just south of Vasse/Busselton, heading towards Margaret River.
What is the CTF subsidy?
The Construction Training Fund is a WA program which subsidises training for those working in the civil construction industry.
We are CTF bulk billers, so students who qualify when booking will have the rebate applied to their invoice, reducing their course cost upfront.

I am wanting to get into the construction or mining industries, which tickets should I get?
If you are looking to get into the civil construction industry, you will firstly need a white card. Great tickets to start with are roller, watercart and/or articulated haul truck. These machines are not too involved, and are great for new operators to start on. From there, skid steer, front end loader and excavator are also great tickets to get.
If you are trying to get into the mining industry, you will generally need your working at heights and confined space entry tickets. Different sites will have different requirements, so it is best to know what you are looking to do specifically, and what you need to have for that job.
Do I need a HR licence to get my watercart or haul truck tickets?
You do not need a HR licence to complete any of our courses. However, some job sites will require you to have a HR licence to operate machines on-site. Check with your employer if you are unsure of the site requirements.
