Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a wheel loader ticket valid for?

Your RIIMPO304E 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 wheel loader course delivered on-site?

Yes. Wheel loader 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.

What do I need to bring on the day?

You should bring a valid photo ID (driver's licence or passport), 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.
