This course will teach you the skills required to operate a boom-type elevating work platform (EWP) with a boom length of 11 metres or more. With MultiSkills’ EWP training, you’ll learn how to operate, set-up, position, and work safely from a boom-type elevated work platform. In this instance, a boom-type elevating work platform can refer to a hinged device, an articulated device, a telescoping device or a combination of any of these, which are then used to support a platform for elevated materials and personnel.

Before being able to successfully undertake this type of elevated work platform training, students will need to complete pre-training study material supplied by MultiSkills training to ensure that they have the required knowledge for the course. The ewp licence assessment will include knowledge, performance and calculations evaluations by your instructor.

EWP courses teach you the skills to:

Operate an elevating work platform with a platform height 11 metres or more
Position, stabilise and set up elevating work platforms
Understand elevating work platform characteristics and capabilities
Estimation of loads
Effective communication skills
Identify hazards and assess risks associated with operation
Conduct pre-operational checks and identify faults

Once you have finished the ewp course and been deemed competent by your instructor, you’ll be able to apply for your high risk work licence through WorkSafe Victoria. This application will need to be submitted through their online portal within 60 days of your obtaining a successful notice of assessment from MultiSkills.

Recognised Prior Learning (RPL)

MultiSkills Training has reviewed the structure and delivery of this unit and determined that Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is not offered for this course.

Due to the short duration of the program, the time and effort required for a student to gather sufficient evidence and complete a formal RPL application is likely to exceed the time it would take to complete the training and assessment. In addition, the RTO resources required to assess and validate RPL applications for this course make the process not viable or efficient in this context.

This decision aligns with the guidance outlined in the Outcome Standards Policy Guidance (Standards for RTOs 2025), which recognises that RPL may not be appropriate or practical in all circumstances.

MultiSkills Training is committed to transparency and fairness. Information regarding RPL is also available in our Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning Policy, which is available on our resources page. In addition, our administrative team is available to discuss this with you upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a licence to operate an EWP?

Yes, anyone operating an Boom lift over 11 metres needs to hold a valid WorkSafe licence to perform high risk work. This is to ensure that you are able to work in a way that is safe for yourself, other workers and members of the public. Getting an EWP ticket from MultiSkills will give you the confidence and skills needed to perform in a safe and efficient way.

What does an EWP ticket cover?

An EWP licence covers the knowledge and skills needed to safely operate an elevated work platform with a boom length measuring over 11m in height. To receive an EWP ticket, you will have to complete the assessment required to earn a high-risk work licence. If you do not hold a valid licence and continue to operate an EWP, then you can face serious consequences.

Does an EWP licence cover working at heights?

An EWP licence applies to the operation of elevated work platforms over 11m in height. This is different to the type of ticket required for working safely at heights. MultiSkills Training also provide courses in Working at Heights.

How much does an EWP ticket cost?

An EWP course completed with MultiSkills costs $650 per person. With this training, you’ll learn about stability, communication, hazard detection plus a range of other important skills. We offer affordable pricing and expert teaching to all participants plus flexible modes of delivery to ensure that everyone can learn in a way that suits them.

Is there Recognised Prior Learning (RPL)?

Due to the short duration of this course, RPL is not available because of the significant time and resources needed to complete the process.

I just finished my third ticket with Graham and am very happy—he's a great trainer and has a wide array of knowledge/experience in the construction and mining industries. He took the time to get to know us and communicated clearly what's expected in order to be competent and pass the assessments, while being helpful and understanding throughout the process.

Hey all curious and keen up and comers, This is Brendo-step right up and face your fears, trust me !!! MULTISKILLS WERRIBEE = GREAT VIBES AND PROFESSIONALISM - as soon as i entered the gates of Multiskills heaven any anxietys or self doubts were quickly distinguished by the friendly pleasant admin staff and perfectionist instructors- especially SEAN "THE GUN" LOMAS - the master perfectionist!!! I was lucky enough to have Sean as my first instructor at Multiskills in the Cert 3 Plant Operations - his eye for detail was refreshing and ON POINT critique was emphatic - he really did pack a punch ripping through all of my class like lightning! I say this because from sucking up my pride and mistakes during the course and listening to and watching Sean closely and implementing his superior knowledge and demonstrations into my practicals i constantly improved and my confidence soared - i would definately be confident entering the civil construction work field with the valuable plant machine tickets i have aquired and the skills i have achieved thanks to Multiskills!! A special mention must go to JOSH....Seans wingman , what a team!!! Josh was another instructor teaching another equivalent class who cared enough to take his time to chip in and help us achieve excellence to the best of our ability - we were getting tag teamed by years of experience - my definition of BLISS!! I will most definately be spending more time at Multiskills over the next 2 years riding the clouds of Multiskills heaven learning all that is offered by Sean, Josh and the extended team, thanks everyone, BANG ON!!!!

Massive thanks to Macca who ran our 2 day forklift license course. Very thorough and very personable aswell. A couple of different stages of experience amongst our group and he did well accomadating everyone. It was good having an instructor who was there to pass on and share his vast knowledge without trying to blow his own trumpet. Will be back 100% for any other licenses i need in the future.

Paul Donovan

Course No. 3 with MultiSkills now. Can highly recommend for Forklift Training, EWP & Dogging. All instructors really pushed us to study, study study. This is what got me through. Thanks to Justin, Graeme & Macca.

Hamish Carr

Levi Kerr

Absolute joy to learn from, wonderful bloke with lots of on site training and explained all parts of the block with detail and in a way that was easy to understand. Wasn't afraid to ask questions at all, nor felt small for asking questions. Thanks Mat!

Michael Christian

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely recommend Multiskills Training! I’m currently studying the 15-Day Civil Construction course with Multiskills Training, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with the experience so far. A huge shout-out to Sean, who runs the course. Sean doesn’t mess around when it comes to safety, procedures and making sure you actually understand the knowledge behind civil construction. He explains everything in a way that makes it easy to understand, so you don’t walk away feeling completely dumbfounded. When I first started, I honestly didn’t have a clue about operating a skid steer, excavator, roller, backhoe or the other machinery. Now, after the training and hands-on experience, I’ve learned how to control and operate the machinery with so much more confidence. That’s a massive achievement for me! The classroom environment has also been freaking awesome. My classmates are kick-back, easy to talk to and always willing to help each other out when someone needs a hand. Everyone has made the learning experience so much better. I’m learning heaps, gaining confidence and actually enjoying the course. Sean makes sure you understand not only how to operate the machinery, but also the safety requirements, policies and procedures that come with working in civil construction. If you’re thinking about getting into civil construction, I highly recommend Multiskills Training in Geelong/Werribee. Thanks Sean for all the knowledge, patience and hands-on training! I came in not knowing how to operate this machinery, and I’m walking away with skills and confidence I never had before. 💪🏼🚜👷🏼‍♀️ 10/10 from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
