COURSE DETAILS

FAQs - Yellow Card Course

  • Where can I complete an EWP Under 11m course in Brisbane?

    Shamrock Training offers EWP Under 11m training in Brisbane for students who need to operate scissor lifts and boom-type elevated work platforms under 11 metres. Training is delivered with a mix of theory and practical learning, with workplace delivery available for eligible groups.

  • What does the EWP Under 11m course cover?

    The EWP Under 11m course covers the safe operation of scissor lifts and boom-type elevating work platforms with a boom length under 11 metres. Students learn about hazard identification, safety requirements, equipment checks, operating procedures and practical use of the machinery.

  • What is the difference between a Yellow Card and a nationally recognised unit?

    A Yellow Card is an industry accreditation issued through the Elevating Work Platform Association. A nationally recognised unit, such as RIIHAN301E, is formal training recognised under the Australian Skills Framework. For many worksites and employers, a nationally recognised unit can provide stronger proof of competency.

  • Do I need a licence to operate an EWP under 11m?

    A High Risk Work Licence is generally not required for boom-type EWPs or scissor lifts under 11 metres. However, many employers and worksites require operators to hold recognised training, such as RIIHAN301E, before allowing unsupervised operation.

  • What do I receive after completing the EWP Under 11m course?

    After successfully completing the course, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for RIIHAN301E. This can be used as evidence of competency for employers, supervisors and worksites that require EWP Under 11m training.
