Course Details
Course Overview
The Conduct Civil Construction Excavator Operations course teaches the skills and knowledge required to operate excavator operations to lift carry and place materials.
This unit applies to those working in site based roles.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements that apply to this unit can vary between states, territories, and industry sectors, and must be sourced from state jurisdictions prior to applying this unit.
This unit alone does not provide sufficient skill to independently load and unload equipment.
To perform this activity safely, personnel must either complete or be assisted by someone who has completed RIIHAN308F Load and Unload Plant or equivalent.
Pathway
This unit of competency (RIIMPO320F Conduct Civil Construction Excavator Operations) can be used as either core or elective units within many nationally endorsed qualifications.
This course is part of ATCO Gas Australia’s Cert III Gas Supply Industry Operations qualification.
ATCO Gas Australia’s Conduct Civil Construction Excavator Operations training is suitable for those looking to use an Excavator in their workplace, who need to fulfil an employment requirement, or people who want to have the ability to use an Excavator in an everyday situation.
This Unit of Competency is an elective from Group A of the RII30815 Cert III in Civil Construction Plant Operations.
