There is no formal pre-requisite unit of competency required, however Learners MUST;

• Be able to understand, read and write English and have a basic concept of numerical values (for further information on the level ability required, see ‘LLN’ below)
• Be at least 18 years of age or over
• Bring 1 form of primary identification (see ‘Primary ID’ below)
• Non-slip enclosed shoes
• Note: Hi Vis vests are available for use; however, as they are shared, learners may prefer to wear their own Hi Vis.

If you are unable to provide one of the below forms of ID please contact the office on 08 9592 2535, or by emailing admin@kgtraining.com.au to discuss alternatives

• Photographic Motor Drivers Licence
  
• Proof of Age Card
• Passport
• Photo Identity Card issued for police or defense force personnel
  
• Original Birth Certificate or certified copy
• Valid High Risk Work Licence
  

To satisfactorily complete this training with us, learners need to be able to understand, read and write basic English and be able to learn to complete mathematical calculations.

For example, at the very least, the learner would need to be able to (without assistance) read and understand a passage of text with comprehension to answer questions in writing.

For example, at the very least, the learner would need to be able to (without assistance) READ and WRITE by following simple instructions like;

        Look at the Risk Assessment

        Find ‘Confirm Task’

        Write down what the ‘Potential Hazards’ are.

As an example of understanding numerical values a learner would need to have to satisfactorily complete this course with us, see the problem below;

        Some work at heights is on scaffolding. Scaffolding is built to be able to bear a certain amount of    load weight.

        Scaffolding that is Light Duty can bear up to 225kg, Medium Duty - up to 450kg and Large Duty - up         to 675kg.

Question 1: If the work will involve a load weight on the scaffold of 475kg, can you use a Medium Duty scaffold?

Question 2: What duty of scaffold is required for a load weight of 205kg?

               Answer 1 = No, Answer 2 = Light

In order to interpret the required values, learners will need to have a basic understanding of:

• Reading and interpreting numerical values (e.g. weights in kilograms)
• Comparing values (e.g. greater than / less than)
• Interpreting limits (e.g. maximum load capacity)
• Selecting appropriate categories based on defined ranges (e.g. scaffold duty ratings).
