What do I need to do to be an accredited backhoe and loader?
In Queensland, to become an accredited operator, you must be at least 18 years old, hold a valid driver’s licence, and be physically capable of performing the job. While a specific backhoe or front-end loader licence is no longer required to operate such machinery in Queensland, you must demonstrate competence in operating the equipment. Employers are responsible for ensuring operators are adequately trained and competent, which includes providing the necessary information, training, instruction, and supervision to maintain health and safety standards. Most employers opt for our backhoe courses to minimise training time and ensure their employees are competent, safe, and experienced. REGISTER YOUR INTEREST
