Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a water cart ticket valid for?

Your RIIMPO206D Statement of Attainment does not have a legislated expiry date, however most employers and mine sites in Western Australia require a Verification of Competency (VOC) or refresher every 2–3 years. Always check your employer's specific site requirements before commencing work.

Is the bulk water truck course delivered on-site?

Yes. Water truck training is delivered on-site at your workplace using your machine, which means the training and assessment reflect the actual equipment and conditions you work with. Contact STES to arrange a suitable date and location.

Do I need a truck driver's licence for the course?

You will need the appropriate driver's licence class for the water truck being operated on your site. Bring your licence with you on the day of training.

What do I need to bring on the day?

You should bring a valid photo ID and your driver's licence, appropriate clothing including long pants and closed-toe footwear, and any site-specific PPE your workplace requires. Lunch and refreshments are not provided so we recommend bringing your own.
