OVERVIEW
Operating boom-type machines with a boom length of 11 metres or more requires a high-risk work licence in Brisbane. The first step to getting this licence is to complete the TLILIC0005 Licence to Operate a Boom-Type Elevating Work Platform course.
Our Brisbane EWP training program is a mix of classroom learning and practical training. Our comprehensive course equips you with the knowledge and skills to operate an elevating work platform safely and legally.
Successfully completing the nationally recognised TLILIC0005 Licence to Operate a Boom-Type Elevating Work Platform (boom length 11 metres or more) will earn you a Statement of Attainment, which is what you’ll need to apply for a high risk work licence. Having an EWP licence in Brisbane demonstrates your understanding and technical abilities to operate an EWP safely.
