This course is for people who need to operate elevating work platforms for tasks such as maintenance, installation, construction, painting or warehouse work. You might be new to the equipment or need evidence of training for your employer or a particular site.
Tell us whether you need scissor lift training, boom lift training or both. We will help you confirm that your course covers the equipment you intend to use.
Your training combines explanations with practical activities on the equipment included in your course. You will practise checking the machine, using the controls and operating safely. Ask questions as you go—our trainers are here to help.
Assessment includes knowledge questions and observation of your practical skills. You need to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge to be assessed as competent. Attendance alone does not result in a Statement of Attainment.
These are different training pathways. This page is for scissor lift training and boom lift training where the boom length is under 11 metres.
A boom-type elevating work platform with a boom length of 11 metres or more requires a WP High Risk Work licence. This includes a boom length of exactly 11 metres. The requirement is based on the machine's maximum boom length, not how high you intend to raise it during a particular task.
The 11-metre boom licensing threshold does not apply to scissor lifts. However, scissor lift operators still need appropriate training and instruction to use the equipment safely.
If you are unsure which course you need, send us the machine details or call 0466 090 559 before booking.
You will need to understand safety instructions, communicate with the trainer and complete the required assessment. Please discuss language, literacy or numeracy support, accessibility needs or concerns about the practical activities with us before booking.
Our team will confirm the minimum age and any other enrolment requirements. If you are uncomfortable at heights or have a condition that may affect your participation, speak with us so we can explain the practical activities and discuss your needs.
Our northside training centre is at 399 Gympie Road, Strathpine. Contact us to confirm EWP training dates and equipment availability at this venue.
Our southside training centre is at 6 Delton Street, Kingston. Ask our team about boom and scissor lift training at this location.
For business or group enquiries across South East Queensland, email admin@worksafeqld.com.au . We can discuss your numbers, equipment requirements and suitable training arrangements.
The advertised price is $275 for training and assessment. Confirm the machine categories, card arrangements and payment details with our team before booking.
Our team will confirm the duration, arrival time and any pre-course study before you book, so you can plan your day.
No. An EWP operator card is evidence of training for the equipment categories recorded on it. It does not replace the WP High Risk Work licence required for boom-type EWPs with a boom length of 11 metres or more.
A Statement of Attainment and an EWPA Yellow Card are separate credentials. Before booking, ask our team to confirm the card issued, the equipment categories covered and whether these meet your employer's requirements.
Do not assume that training on one machine covers another. Tell us which equipment you need to operate and confirm that your booking includes both machine types if required.
Tell us about your experience when you enquire. We will discuss whether this course suits your needs and any preparation or support you may require.
A separate working at heights qualification is not included simply because you complete EWP training. If your employer also requires working at heights training, ask us about completing both courses.
Your training needs to match the equipment you use. You must also follow the manufacturer's instructions, workplace procedures and any machine familiarisation or site requirements before operating.
Tell us your preferred location, the equipment you need to operate and whether you are booking for yourself or a business. We will help you confirm the course details and available dates.
