Three day course from 8:00am – 4:30pm (please arrive 15 minutes early on the first day).

• Have a moderate level of English language, literacy and numeracy. The assessment is written in English and a translator is not permitted in the assessment. A language, Literacy and Numeracy assessment might require completion prior to enrolment.
• Have previous industry experience as they are required to provide us with third party reports from a manager and a fellow colleague from an external agency.
• Have a completed TISC Enrolment Form with your Unique Student Identifier (USI) e-mailed to office@suttonroad.com.au together with your driver licence to finalise the full enrolment process or complete the enrolment at the bottom of this page.  During the online enrolment process, you will be asked to upload your driver licence so please have this ready.  A USI number can be obtained by logging on to www.usi.gov.au and is necessary to issue your Statement of Attainment on successful completion of the course.

• One form of photo ID
• It is recommended that you bring your company’s Transport Emergency Response Plans (TERPs) but this is not a compulsory requirement

• Enclosed shoes and comfortable clothing suitable for the expected weather.
• High visibility vest. (We can provide you with one on the day)
• Additional items depending on the weather such as a hat, sunscreen or rain jacket as part of the training is conducted outside

On the first two days knowledge is tested in the forms of both written learning activities during the classroom training and also in individual practical demonstrations. On the final day a full practical assessment is conducted. This is done by simulating a real life emergency incident. The assessment is conducted in groups as this is the most realistic way an incident would be dealt with in a real life situation. Although the final assessment is conducted in a group situation, we ensure the assessment is valid and fair by ensuring each student is assessed individually against each element of the assessment. Any students who are found to be ‘Not Yet Competent’ will be able to undertake a re-assessment at a later date and pay the associated fee.

Successful completion of this course is part of the application process for the ‘Emergency Responders Card’. The card is endorsed by Canberra & Regions Oil Industry Emergency Response Group Incorporated (CROIERG), National Bulk Tanker Association (NBTA) and the Australian Fire and Emergency Services Authority Council (AFAC). Once industry accreditation is received, the card is then issued by TISC. There are additional requirements when applying for an Emergency Responders Card and successful completion of this course does not guarantee a student will be approved when applying for a card. When students enrol into the course they will be provided with the application form for the Emergency Responders Card. Students that successfully complete the course will need to submit this form to TISC.
