Student Reviews

Can I start the practical component of working at heights after completing this refresher course?

Are there any specific system requirements for participating in this online course?

You will need a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access to take part in this course. The course is designed to be compatible with most web browsers.

How is this course delivered?

The course is delivered online, allowing you the freedom to study at your own pace and convenience. However, this course covers the theoretical component of working at heights, and you should complete in-person practical training separately for full accreditation.

I work in a job where I occasionally have to work at heights, but it's not my primary role. Do I still need this refresher course?

I completed my initial working at heights training overseas. Can I still take this Australian refresher course?

It depends on the compatibility of the training you received with Australian standards. We recommend contacting us directly with the details of your previous training so we can evaluate its suitability for our refresher course requirements.
