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 qualification.
Students must have access to a computer/laptop or tablet to complete their assessments.
Delivery and Assessment
There are theory and practical training and assessment components to this course. All resources, assessment and log books will be accessed through our online training platform. Students will be shown how to navigate this on their first training day.
The trainer will attend one day per month for on-site training and assessment tasks. We generally schedule these sessions in advance to ensure training isn’t missed. 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. Student’s USI transcript will be requested upon enrolment.
ENROLMENT & Payment
To enrol, a meeting needs to be arranged with a representative from Apprenticeship Support Australia to sign the student up as an apprentice. Once registered, we can get the student set up on our platform and issue the training plan. Once approved by the student and employer, we can issue the invoice and begin to schedule training days.
