RIIMPO321F Conduct Civil Construction Wheeled Front end Loader Operations

The purpose of our front-end loader course is to provide students with the necessary skills and onsite training to safely operate a front-end loader across many different worksites. Our aim is to provide high quality training in a small class environment, giving students the one-on-one training required to successfully complete our front-end loader course.

This training in its current form meets the criteria of the unit of competency requirements.

A front-end loader is a heavy-duty machine consisting of an articulated arm on the front with a bucket attached. It’s primary use in the construction industry is to dig and load materials onto trucks such as asphalt, rock and gravel.
