Outcomes of Conduct backhoe/loader operations Training

Students who are deemed competent will receive a Nationally Recognised Statement of Attainment for RIIMPO319E – Conduct backhoe/loader operations, recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework. This certification is nationally recognised. The Statement is issued by Link Resources Training Pty Ltd (RTO 45483).

What do I need to do to be an accredited backhoe and loader?

In Queensland, to become an accredited operator, you must be at least 18 years old, hold a valid driver’s licence, and be physically capable of performing the job.

While a specific backhoe or front-end loader licence is no longer required to operate such machinery in Queensland, you must demonstrate competence in operating the equipment. Employers are responsible for ensuring operators are adequately trained and competent, which includes providing the necessary information, training, instruction, and supervision to maintain health and safety standards.

Most employers opt for our backhoe courses to minimise training time and ensure their employees are competent, safe, and experienced.

Course delivery

Face-to-face training and assessment are conducted at one of Link Resources’ purpose-built training facilities. Upon arrangement, training and assessment can be conducted on-site at the premises of industry clients providing there a suitable infrastructure and industry training facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I conduct front-end loader operations with this course?

No. This course covers backhoe/loader operations. If you’re looking for front-end loader training, you’ll need to complete:

RIIMPO321F — Conduct civil construction wheeled front end loader operations.

The above course qualifies you to be a front end loader operator in the civil, construction, resources, and infrastructure industries.

Do you need both a backhoe and front-end loader ticket?

Not necessarily. It depends on the type of work you do and your career goals. However, many recommend completing a front-end loader course in addition to backhoe/loader training if you want to broaden your job opportunities in construction, civil works, mining, and infrastructure. Having both qualifications opens up more job prospects, increases earning potential, and gives you greater flexibility, allowing you to take on a wider range of tasks across job sites.

Will this course help me get a job?

While the course itself does not guarantee a job, it gives you the necessary skills and certification to enhance your employability in industries such as construction, civil works, mining, and infrastructure. Employers recognise the value of accredited training.

Do I need prior experience to enrol in the backhoe/loader course?
