COURSE DETAILS
Shamrock Training offers Tower Crane training in Brisbane for students who want to operate tower cranes used across construction, infrastructure and major building projects. The course covers the nationally recognised unit CPCCLTC4001 and includes both theory and practical training.
No specific prior tower crane experience is required. However, completing a Dogging ticket first may be recommended because dogging skills are highly relevant to lifting and crane operations. Students must also be 18 years or older, have basic English literacy skills, and provide the required evidence of identity before assessment.
The Tower Crane course covers the skills and knowledge needed to operate tower cranes safely and effectively. This includes cranes mounted on tower structures, including horizontal and luffing jib types. Self-erecting tower cranes are a separate class and may require different training.
Tower crane operators are commonly needed across large construction, commercial, residential and infrastructure projects. In Brisbane and across Queensland, tower crane skills can support opportunities on major building and development sites.
Yes. After successfully completing your assessment, you will need to apply directly to Workplace Health and Safety Queensland for your licence. A separate government application fee applies, and your application must be submitted within the required timeframe after assessment.
