Frequently Asked Questions

Will this course give me an accreditation to conduct hydraulic excavator operations?

Yes, successful completion will provide you with accreditation to operate hydraulic excavators in civil construction. However, if you’re looking to operate in mining environments, additional training may be required, such as the RIIMPO301E – Conduct Hydraulic Excavator Operations, which is specifically tailored for mining applications.

Do I need an excavator licence to operate such equipment?

You don’t need a licence to operate an excavator, but you must demonstrate competency in its operation. While it’s a unit of competency, it’s often referred to as an excavator licence course because it provides the same hands-on training and assessment as obtaining a licence.However, exceptions may apply, especially for equipment used in the mining industry.
