Description: A Backhoe/Loader is a self-propelled, wheeled machine used within the civil industry. A Backhoe/Loader's primary purpose is to lift, transport and discharge material and comes equipped with a front-mounted bucket and rear-mounted backhoe attachment. The Backhoe attachment digs into the ground to excavate materials. At the same time, the bucket lifts, swings, and moves the materials toward the stationed machine and then into the discharge area. The Backhoe attachment adds weight and length to the machine, which needs to be accounted for when operating it. For the Backhoe/Loader to be used economically and safely, the operator must receive adequate training. This course focuses on the skills and knowledge required to Conduct Backhoe/Loader Operations in the Resources and Infrastructure Industries.

RPL Info

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) certifies your skills gained throughout your work and life experiences, and it does not necessarily include work or formal training here in Australia. The RPL approach avoids duplication of training allowing you to reduce the time required to obtain your qualification, in some circumstances you may not be required to study at all.

For example, a person who has operated heavy machinery within the Civil or Mining industry for several years would have developed skills to match a full unit of competency allowing the student to use the RPL method. In some cases a student cannot provide sufficient evidence to allow the approval of RPL, in these circumstances, gap training is required to demonstrate that the student has the skills and knowledge within the industry they are applying for RPL.

Successful students receive a "Statement of Attainment", and a wallet-sized operator card, which is recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework.

How our process works:

Step 1 - Skills

We will allocate an experienced trainer that will discuss with you your previous experiences so that we can help you choose the correct qualification or units of competency that matches your skills, and guide you to achieve your goals.

Step 2 - Evidence

We will give you an RPL kit which will allow you to provide us with as much evidence as you can, such as but not limited to: current resume, student self-assessment, third party report, reference letters, work examples, VOC’s, workplace observations, rosters, timesheets for evidence of frequency, payslips, logbooks, photos, videos and any other evidence that will show your trainer your skills and knowledge within the industry you are applying for RPL.

Step 3 - Validation

Your trainer will review your RPL kit and the evidence provided. Your trainer will have a conversation with yourself and your third-party referee, and then conduct the final checks to confirm and validate the information you have provided is current. Please note: at the trainer's discretion; further evidence may be required before Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is issued.

Step 4 - Recognised

Congratulations! All evidence has been checked, confirmed and validated. You will receive a nationally recognised statement of attainment that will be issued by our partnered Registered Training Organisation.
