• Be at least 18 years of age.
• Reside in the ACT or Queanbeyan Geographical area. (Note: Any students who live outside of the ACT will need to provide a letter on a business letterhead, or a statutory declaration stating they require training from TISC as we are either the closest provider to you who conducts this course, or you require it as your employment is in the ACT region.)

We recommend that all students read the Access Canberra ‘Application for High Risk Work Licence’ form to ensure they are eligible to apply for a High Risk Work licence.

Students who are found competent will be issued with a Statement of Attainment by the assessor at the end of the course. The statement of attainment and the successful assessment pass checklist must be presented to Access Canberra within 60 days to remain valid. Access Canberra (Gungahlin or Tuggeranong) will issue a High Risk Work Licence permitting the holder to use a forklift nationally. Any students who live outside of the ACT will need to request approval for a residential waiver from Access Canberra. In these cases the individual must give justification as to why they wish to complete the course in the ACT rather than in NSW.

It is the students responsibly, not the RTO’s, to ensure eligibility prior to enrolling. We recommend that all students read the Access Canberra ‘Application for High Risk Work Licence form to ensure they are eligible to apply for a High Risk Work licence.
