Possessing this qualification opens avenues for diverse roles within construction, landscaping, and related industries.

Site Preparation Crew Member: Bobcat operators are crucial in preparing construction sites by clearing debris, leveling surfaces, and creating a stable foundation for further building or development work

Erosion Control and Land Restoration Specialist: Bobcat operators with expertise in erosion control and land restoration play a crucial role in preventing soil erosion and restoring landscapes affected by natural processes or construction.

Landscaping and Groundskeeping: In the landscaping industry, bobcat operators help with tasks like excavating and grading for planting, creating paths, and sculpting terrain to achieve the desired outdoor aesthetics.

Material Handling Specialist: Bobcats excel at moving and distributing materials like gravel, soil, and aggregates. Operators play a key role in efficiently transporting and spreading materials in construction and landscaping projects.

Outdoor Event Setup and Cleanup: Bobcat operators assist in setting up and dismantling temporary structures for outdoor events like festivals and fairs. They level ground, move equipment, and ensure efficient event setup.

Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better.
Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better. Smaller classes better and more knowledgeable teachers who care about the students and more flexible learning (being able to do most of the work from home). TAFE felt like it was just there to keep apprentices there for as long as possible (spending 8 hours to do 2 hours of work) but here it’s all based around the student, come in for the morning to to finish up units then go back to work for the rest of the day.
