Your 3-Phase Journey to Success:
Phase 1 (Pre-Course Study): Get your digital learning materials instantly upon booking. Review them at your own pace to easily prepare for the theory components.
Phase 2 (Hands-On Training): Complete intensive practical driving and logbook hours with our team at our central Garbutt facility.
Phase 3 (The Final Assessment): Secure your ticket via three nationally regulated components: a closed-book theory paper, a practical math calculations section, and a hands-on driving evaluation.
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 perform rigging 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.

We know stepping up for a high-risk assessment can bring a few test-day nerves. Our priority is making sure you feel calm, capable, and ready to perform rigging operations safely on your first attempt.
Rigging training involves specialised load-shifting gear, heavy equipment, and dedicated practical yard scheduling, so if you do not pass a component of your assessment on the first try, standard re-assessment fees will apply. If this happens, don't worry—our team will debrief you on the exact areas to focus on, give you targeted guidance, and work with you to re-book your testing day so you can walk away with your High Risk Work Licence with total confidence.
