It is important you understand that this licence-focused training itself does not give you your high risk licence. However, assuming you pass your Scaffolding assessment 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 course, a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the following unit of competency will be issued:

CPCCLSF3001 Licence to erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding intermediate level

NOTE: Statement of Attainment will be issued by Harness Energy RTO 40521

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.
