OVERVIEW
Major Training Group delivers high-quality, reliable training solutions that will prepare you for the highest standards of high-risk onsite safety and compliance.
To work alongside crane operators and truck drivers, as a labourer or construction site worker you need a Dogman ticket. Major Training Group has a depth of knowledge that only comes from a family-owned business with a history of providing plant and transport services to major infrastructure projects; coupled with some of the best trainers in the industry. For your first or next move in the construction industry in QLD or beyond, Major Training Group will make it happen.
Upon successful completion of the dogging course, you will be issued with a Dogman Ticket allowing you to work in a variety of industries. We offer our training programs across QLD in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, and beyond.
