Operating boom-type EWPs over 11 metres in length on the Gold Coast requires a high-risk work licence. Get qualified to operate boom-type EWPs by completing the TLILIC0005 Licence to Operate a Boom-Type Elevating Work Platform course on the Gold Coast.
For tradies who work at height, the TLILIC0005 course is your entry to building the competence needed to work across a range of elevated work environments. You’ll learn how to conduct pre-start checks, identify hazards, set up and operate the equipment in various workplace conditions, communicate with workmates on the ground, and complete safe shutdown procedures. These are skills that can be valuable across construction, maintenance, civil works, and other industries.
Upon completion of the nationally recognised TLILIC0005 Licence to Operate a Boom-Type Elevating Work Platform, you’ll be awarded a Statement of Attainment. You’ll need this certification to apply for a high risk work licence. Holding an EWP licence on the Gold Coast shows employers you’ve completed the necessary safety and technical training, giving you the skills and understanding to handle EWP work on site.
