Before a trainee can apply for a national licence to perform high risk work to operate any of these cranes, a registered training organisation (RTO) must assess their training, skills and knowledge using the relevant national 'assessment instrument' under realistic workplace conditions.

For registered training providers which can deliver the traineeship qualifications go to training.gov.au.

A list of training organisations which are in contract with the NSW Department of Education to be paid for the delivery of the training is here.

When developing Training Plans, registered training providers should ensure that the training program satisfies the qualification packaging requirements and, at the same time, reflects the nature of the business. Training Plans should be customised so that workplace activities support and align with the qualifications units of competency.

On1 January 2015 the NSW Government introduced new fee arrangements for government subsidised vocational education and training (VET). Under Smart and Skilled, all apprenticeship and most traineeship qualifications are subsidised. For a full list of all the qualifications refer to the current NSW Skills List. Information on the types and levels of subsidies can be found in the Smart and Skilled Fee Administration Policy. Training for existing-worker trainees is not subsidised.

Training Services and Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) transition arrangements are aligned*.

Registered training organisations (RTOs) may commence training in either the new or superseded qualification but must meet the requirements of ASQA. For more information refer to ASQA's General Direction - Learner Transition.

A copy of each Vocational Training Order is available for inspection on this internet site below or at any Training Services centre Office of the NSW Department of Education.
