What You Walk Away With:

The moment you pass, we will issue you your Candidate Assessment Summary (CAS). This paperwork serves as your legal interim licence, meaning you can step onto a job site and legally operate a non-slewing mobile crane for work right away. It also acts as your official compliance document, which you will then use to lodge your application online with WorkSafe QLD to secure your permanent, physical High-Risk Work Licence photo card. (Please note: You must submit this paperwork online within 60 days of passing your test or the results become invalid by law. WorkSafe QLD also charges a separate government licensing fee at the time of your online submission).

Our staff are here to help you with every single phase of your journey, and we will gladly guide you and answer any questions you have along the way.
