Telehandler Licence

ACE Training will deliver the training through classroom instruction and in realistic learning environments. Our qualified assessors will assess the participants’ competence through a series of verbal and written questions and practical demonstrations. A full course overview will be provided upon completion of the enrolment process.

Successful students who pass the assessment by our qualified assessor will be awarded a Statement of Attainment for NAT11249001 Licence to operate a non-slewing telehandler (with a rated capacity greater than 3 tonnes). Students will also need to apply to WorkSafe Victoria via the myWorkSafe portal to obtain your Non-Slewing Telehandler Licence. You have 60 days after completing this course to submit your application and additional fees apply.

Class size minimums apply.

Please note that this unit in itself does not result in a High-Risk Work Licence (HRWL) to operate this equipment.

If you use non-slewing telehandlers with a rated capacity of 3 tonnes or less you should be trained and competent in the use of the equipment, but do not need a licence. Our Telescopic Materials course is a great option instead.

• Applicants must be aged 18+ at the time of course commencement.      
• Applicants must have photo identification.
• Applicants must have a USI Number (Unique Student Identifier).          
• Applicants must have safety footwear & a hi-vis shirt/vest.

ACE 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.

ACE 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 students upon request.
