To be eligible to apply for the High-Risk Licence, students will need to complete a Theory Assessment and a Practical Assessment.

Most students bring their drivers licence, Medicare card and a credit / debit card with them on the day which satisfies the identity requirements.

All assessments are completed during the course – no assessment activities need to be completed prior to or post the training course.
Upon successful completion of the course requirements, students will receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the following unit of competency:

Students will also be provided with an electronic 'Candidate Assessment Summary' (CAS) to apply for the High-Risk Licence through Work Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ).
Please note there is an additional fee charged by WHSQ to apply for the licence.
