This self-erecting tower crane course specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a self-erecting tower crane. Self-erecting cranes are common on small to medium-sized construction sites. They usually have a horizontal boom that folds out during erection and are usually operated by remote control rather than from a cabin. For licencing purposes, self-erecting tower cranes are a separate category to other types of tower crane.

Course Structure:
Please note: Competence in a unit does not in itself result in a licence.
Once the trainer believes the participant has demonstrated theoretical and practical understanding of the chosen course (i.e ‘Unit of Competency’, in this case ' Licence to Operate a Self-Erecting Tower Crane - CPCCLTC4002'), this will be verified with a certificate or what’s known as a ‘Statement of Attainment’ from us, On the Job Training.
In order to obtain a CS licence, the candidate, after successful completion of the unit of competency, can choose to participate in the theoretical and practical assessments known as ‘National Assessment Instruments’ (NAI) held at the conclusion of each course at On the Job Training. This is conducted by an assessor on behalf of Workplace Health & Safety Queensland. On successful completion of the mandated assessments, they will be issued with a ‘Candidate Assessment Summary’ (CAS) by On the Job Training.
Upon successful completion of the NAI as stated above, the Office of Industrial Relations Queensland will contact them with instructions on how to apply for the CS high risk work licence.
For more information about costs associated with the chosen licence visit the Workplace Health & Safety website.
