First Nations Machinery Training in Queensland
The 3-Course Machinery Bundle is designed for people wanting to develop practical machinery operating skills across three versatile machines used throughout civil construction, earthmoving, infrastructure, road construction and related industries.
For First Nations workers, gaining additional plant and machinery skills can help broaden the types of roles and projects you may be able to pursue.
Excavator Training
RIIMPO320F - Conduct Civil Construction Excavator Operations
Develop the skills and knowledge required to safely and effectively operate an excavator in a workplace environment.
Excavators are widely used across civil construction, earthmoving, drainage, infrastructure, landscaping and excavation projects.
Skid Steer Training
RIIMPO318F - Conduct Civil Construction Skid Steer Loader Operations
Build the skills required to safely operate a versatile skid steer loader across a range of civil construction and earthmoving activities.
Roller Training
RIIMPO317F - Conduct Civil Construction Roller Operations
Develop the skills required to safely operate a roller for compacting materials and preparing surfaces on construction and civil infrastructure projects.
Build Multiple Machinery Skills
Completing all three courses allows you to develop skills across excavators, skid steers and rollers, helping you become a more versatile operator.
Adding multiple plant and machinery competencies to your resume can also help demonstrate your capability to employers looking for workers with practical civil construction skills.
