Move materials mechanically using automated equipment

Who is the course designed for?

This course is designed for new entrants to retail, wholesale, warehousing, construction, farming etc.

The course provides a pathway to obtain skills and knowledge to operate low level order pickers (non-licence). This qualification is for any forklift that has an operator elevating type platform that does not raise above 1.5 metres. This qualification can lead onto a full qualification in Transport and Logistics (TL107). Legal limitations or pre-requisites exist on the qualification that may hamper the obtaining of a licence from the licencing authority.

Students can contact this office on 1300 789 606 or the licencing authority for qualification criteria and advice. The contact phone number for WorkCover NSW is 131050.

What does the course offer?

The program has been organized to provide students with general skills, background information and specific knowledge about operating a forklift, which is then applied in discussion, questioning, role-plays and projects for the industry specific unit.

The program is delivered off-the-job at our main training centre in Moorebank NSW and/or on-the-job at the clients premises. Training delivery combines face-to-face trainer led theory classes and practical sessions involving small group and individual activities including peer critical evaluation scenarios, questioning, role-plays and simulations.

Candidates are provided with a training manual that covers all parts of the course. Additional material will be made available during training sessions if required.

How are students assessed?

There is currently no RPL or RCC available for the assessment component of this UoC.

Students will undergo a theory and practical test. Upon successful completion a 'Statement of Attainment' will be supplied to the applicant.

The theory test requires the completion of 18 questions within 45 minutes. It is a closed book test and no outside assistance is allowed. Groups can sit for the test at one time providing there is sufficient separation. The practical test requires the completion set tasks using a compliant order picker forklift within a period of 1 hour.

If a student has problems with written English the theory test may be given orally, but arrangements must be made at time of booking
