Backhoe Ticket
The backhoe ticket (RIIMPO319E) at Shamrock Training is nationally recognised backhoe loader operator certification covering excavation, trenching, backfilling, loading materials, and working across different ground conditions with proper control and site awareness - across civil construction, utilities, council works, and general earthmoving sites. Courses run weekly from the Northgate Brisbane training centre near Brisbane Airport, with on-site training available across Queensland.
No prerequisites are required, the course takes one to three days, and you walk away with a Statement of Attainment for RIIMPO319E - the formal operator certification that employers and principal contractors require before putting you on the machine unsupervised. Book your spot at Northgate or call to arrange on-site training for your crew.
