Are there any prerequisites for the Tower Crane course?
No prior experience or specific prior qualifications are required for the Tower Crane course, although it is highly recommended to complete your DG ticket first. You must be 18 years or older, have basic English literacy, and bring three forms of eligible evidence of identity (EOI). Study materials are provided on the day.
What does the Tower Crane course cover?
The Tower Crane course covers the operation of jib or boom cranes mounted on a tower structure – both horizontal and luffing jib types – whether demountable or permanent. It does not cover self-erecting tower cranes, which require a separate licence (CS class). Tower cranes are commonly used in high-rise construction, infrastructure and major development projects.
Is Tower Crane operation in demand in Queensland?
Yes – tower crane operators are in strong demand across Queensland, particularly in Brisbane where a major construction pipeline is underway including Olympic infrastructure for the 2032 Brisbane Games. A CT licence opens opportunities in high-rise residential, commercial and infrastructure construction.
Is there a fee to apply for my High Risk Work Licence after the course?
Yes – after successfully completing the course, you apply directly to Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) for your HRWL. There is an additional government fee payable to WHSQ for the licence application. You must apply within 60 days of completing your assessment with Ascent Training Solutions.
