Is an EWP ticket a legal requirement in Sydney?
Workers must be trained and competent to operate elevating work platforms under WHS legislation. This nationally recognised unit provides evidence of competency.
How long does it take to get an EWP ticket in Sydney?
The RIIHAN301E course is completed in one full day, including theory and practical assessment.
Does the course include safety procedures?

Do I need any prior qualifications or experience?
Participants must be at least 18 years old, provide 100 points of identification, and have basic English literacy skills.
What if I fail the assessment?
Can I book training for my whole team?
Yes — group or corporate bookings are available. Many training providers can deliver onsite sessions for larger teams, tailor scheduling, or offer bulk enrolment options. Team training ensures everyone meets NSW legal requirements and follows consistent, safe work practices.
What is the NSW Training Fund and am I eligible?
The NSW Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Authority (TFA) provides subsidies for approved training undertaken by eligible employers and workers in the construction sector. You may be eligible if:
- You work for an NSW-based construction company, and
- Your employer pays the mandatory Training Fund Levy on your projects.
If eligible, your course fee may be partially reimbursed. You or your employer will need to apply for the subsidy after completing the course.
How long is the certification valid?
Statements of Attainment do not expire. However, many employers recommend retraining every five years.
