Course Details

A grader ticket is a nationally recognised unit of competency that’ll give you the skills to operate a grader on a construction or building site. Having a grader ticket will qualify you for jobs in transport, mining, and agriculture.

What's INCLUDED:

A detailed training plan developed from our knowledge of the earthmoving industry

Practical training recorded in a practical skills logbook

All training materials, machinery, and a hi-vis vest.

After completing the training, students will undertake a closed book written theory test and a comprehensive practical test using our machinery.

ENTRY Requirements

This course is suitable for students who are currently employed or seeking employment in the construction industry.

To enrol in the grader course, students must:

  • Be able to read and write basic English
  • Pass a language, literacy, and numeracy assessment (LLN)
  • Be mechanically minded with an interest in operating heavy machinery
  • Be a minimum of 16 years of age
  • Provide two forms of identification

Grader Ticket

A Grader ticket, obtained through specialised training and certification, showcases expertise in operating graders—heavy construction machinery designed for precision grading, leveling, and shaping of surfaces. Holding a Grader ticket indicates skill in operating this equipment accurately and efficiently. This qualification opens doors to a range of roles within construction, roadworks, and earthmoving projects.

Possible Roles

Grader Operator: As a grader operator, you'll be responsible for using graders to grade and level surfaces on construction sites, roads, and other projects, ensuring smooth and accurately graded surfaces.

Site Preparation Specialist: Within construction teams, grader operators prepare sites for building projects by shaping terrain, establishing drainage slopes, and ensuring proper foundations.

Airport Runway Grading: Grader operators contribute to maintaining airport runways by ensuring accurate grading and drainage for safe and smooth takeoffs and landings.

Road Construction and Maintenance: Grader operators play a pivotal role in road construction and maintenance projects, precisely grading road surfaces, creating slopes, and achieving specified elevations.

Mining and Quarry Operations: Operators with Grader tickets assist in mining and quarry operations by creating even surfaces for haul roads, stockpiles, and processing areas.

Sports Field and Golf Course Grading: Grader operators maintain sports fields and golf courses by creating level surfaces, shaping contours, and establishing proper drainage.

Potential wages could be in the region of $80,000 to $100,000 per year

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.
