COURSE DETAILS
Shamrock Training offers Backhoe/Loader training in Brisbane for students who need to operate backhoe loaders safely across civil construction, earthmoving, mining, agriculture and general worksites. The course covers the nationally recognised unit RIIMPO319E and includes both theory and practical training.
The course teaches students how to plan and prepare for backhoe/loader operations, complete pre-start and post-operational checks, operate the machine safely, maintain a tidy work area, and handle materials in line with site and safety requirements.
Backhoe/Loader training can support work across civil construction, earthmoving, mining, agriculture, roadworks, utilities and site preparation. It is a useful competency for operators who want to work across different job sites and sectors.
A High Risk Work Licence is generally not required to operate a backhoe loader. However, many employers and worksites require recognised training, such as RIIMPO319E, before allowing unsupervised operation.
After successfully completing the course, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for RIIMPO319E. This can be used as evidence of competency for employers, supervisors and worksites that require backhoe/loader training.
