Elevated Work Platform (EWP) Course Melbourne

RIIHAN301E Operate Elevating Work Platform (EWP) - boom lift course delivered in Port Melbourne, is designed to give participants the knowledge and skills to operate elevating work platforms which are not classified as requiring a high risk work (HRW) licence.

If you need to operate lifts that have a capacity beyond 11m, you will need to complete TLILIC0005 - Licence to operate a boom-type elevating work platform (boom length 11 metres or more).

After successfully completing this nationally-recognised course you will be trained and competent to operate:

  • EWP under 11m / Boom Lift
  • Scissor Lift
  • Vertical Lift*

*The unit RIIHAN301E covers the operation of a range of elevating work platforms under 11m. Our course will provide participants with skills and knowledge to operate elevating work platforms that are transferable to any EWP under 11m. The specific plant used at Short Courses Australia are boom lift (BL) and scissor lift (SL).

All Australian work sites have an obligation to induct new workers on the plant they are required to use. However, we do recommend that workers check with their employer(s) as to the applicability of any training related to on-site plant and equipment, as well as any site-specific training requirements.

Competent students will receive a Statement of Attainment in the unit of competence RIIHAN301E Operate Elevating Work Platform (EWP).

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.

      "I had an amazing experience doing the Traffic Management Course with trainer Shawn. He was extremely knowledgeable and had no problem sharing it around. I have now booked to do my stop slow with Shawn, even holding back on employment just so as I can complete it at SCA Port Melbourne. Highly Recommend this course with this company!! ?????????? It is very hands on and others in my group had completed the other units with different training company?s ?, informing me that it was nothing compared to what Shawn at SCA went through! We were given the knowledge and support, the group was connected and we were all given time to practice setting up signs, communicating via radios, role playing real road situations ect. We all had a laugh along the way and as Shawn was so engaged with the group?. The day flew by and I left feeling as though I?d actually learnt something for the 1st time in a long time! ?????? Starting a whole new career is daunting however Shawn has given me the knowledge to confidently understand to some extent what I?m up against. Thanks again Shawn! SCA keep doing what you do!!"

      "Words cant explain the dedication Shawn has to his teaching, so just experience it for yourself. I am so thankful to see Shawn clearly takes pride in his work and teaches his students to the best of his knowledge. I recently completed my Traffic Management Course with him and it was flawless. He knows how to mix learning and having fun extremely well, keeping you engaged and locked in where a lot of ?teachers? lack, and the knowledge he shares to his students is extremely informative and VITAL. A personal thank you to Shawn, you?ve helped expand my knowledge in Traffic Control and helped me become more confident in aspects throughout. I really appreciate the way you teach, it?s outstanding. This place over Origin Institute!! and make sure you get Shawn"
