Applying for a Licence to Operate a Mobile Slewing Crane (C6) Up to 60t – Important Information

It is important you understand that this licence-focused training itself does not give you your high risk licence. However, assuming you pass your mobile-slewing Crane assessment (up to 60t) you have 60 days to apply (and be assessed) for your high risk work licence.  

Currently, you have to renew your licence within 12 months of its expiry otherwise your high risk work licence can’t be renewed, you will have to repeat this training course and re-apply for your licence or re-enrol in the course again and be supervised by somebody who has a current licence for the same class.

Upon successful completion of this C6 Crane course, a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the following unit of competency will be issued by Harness Energy RTO 45021:

TLILIC0023 Licence to operate a slewing mobile crane (up to 60 tonnes)

Competence in this unit does not in itself result in a licence. Participants are only eligible to apply for a High Risk Work Licence in the specific state or territory where they have:

• Completed their training, and
• Are eighteen (18) years of age, and
• Have completed the minimum logbook hours or training record, and
• Have passed the mandated national assessment instrument, and
• Have met any other state or territory work health and safety (WHS) criteria.

A licensing fee is payable to the relevant state or territory jurisdiction for those students wishing to apply for a High Risk Work Licence (class C6).
