2 Licensing / Regulatory Requirements Operating Cranes, Rigging and Scaffolding equipment has been identified by OHS State authorities and industry as high risk plant and equipment (some classes) that require training and assessment options that ensure operators are able to operate in a safe manner. Entry Requirements: There are no specific entry requirements for this course, however regulatory authorities do have a minimum age of 18 years for final assessment completion, and regulatory bodies may have other licence requirements in their jurisdictions. In addition, there may also be other regulatory requirements that need to be addressed eg. Drivers licence when driving on public roads. Pre-requisites may include the General Safety Induction (Construction Industry and any license requirements). If a participant does not have access to a suitable workplace to complete the on-the-job training component they will need to discuss with the Registered Training Organisation strategies to address this requirement such as arranging a suitable industry placement or a realistically simulated worksite. Industry placement under the relevant state/territory legislation covers the unpaid placement of the student with a suitable business that has the facilities, the range of work, supervision and training required under the training plan for the Industry Placement. In Queensland, Industry Placement is covered under the Vocational Education, Training and Employment Act 2000, Chapter 4 (Vocational Placement). Recognition of Prior Learning Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL is recognition of prior learning or skills obtained from previous study or work/life experience). Recognition of Prior Learning applications are welcome (for more information, see the Participant Information Kit with requirements.) A mandatory challenge test is required. In accordance with Standard 1.5 of the AQTF, participants will be able to gain recognition for any relevant competencies and underpinning knowledge and skills gained through experience as well as formal education programs and may apply to have those competencies recognised. RPL is offered on enrolment and available on application. A mandatory challenge test is required for RPL of any unit. Client(S) The key clients for this course are existing workers, potential new entrants from a range of industries, non industry, school students or school leavers.

4 Assessment The operation of the equipment contained in this course is classified as high risk under the Workplace Health and Safety Legislation therefore, all participants need to undertake supervised on the-job-training to gain on-thejob experience. All practical assessments will be undertaken in a real work environment or replicated industrial workplace. A mandatory challenge test* is required in accordance with the licensing/regulatory authority assessment requirements as outlined in the OHS Training and Assessment Delivery Guide, the evidence guide of the unit of competency and the assessment instruments. To meet OHS regulator requirements a challenge test is defined as successfully completing the written knowledge test or written assignment as required followed by a practical test to demonstrate competence against the OHS assessment instrument. If a participant does not have access to a suitable workplace to complete the on-the-job training component they will need to discuss with the Registered Training Organisation strategies to address this requirement such as arranging a suitable industry placement or a realistically simulated worksite.
