The average cost for EWPA Yellow Card training is between $300-$400 however this will vary dependant on how many modules are being delivered and class size.  Once you have enrolled, your Accredited Trainer will contact you to discuss and confirm your booking.

 

PWA YC & GC information needed prior to training.

On the day of training, you will be required to undertake a pre work assessment (PWA) before participating in your Yellow/ Gold Card course. Please ensure you have a mobile or desktop device with Wi-Fi capability for this purpose. 

Each participant is required to successfully complete both parts (100% correct with 2 attempts) in the required timeframe (15 mins) before training can be attempted. The PWA is made up of 2 questions relating to your reading ability and 3 relating to your numerical ability. Calculators may be used. This is a minimum legal job safety requirement to operate a EWP or a Telescopic Handler. 

Participants who need additional help after completing this PWA will not be allowed to attend training and will be offered alternative free help if required and may complete training at a later date. Future attempts at completing a YC or GC must be accompanied with evidence of literacy and numeracy training by an approved provider before a second application can be approved.

Ensure you bring sufficient identification with name and photo (eg drivers licence or passport), dress appropriately and wear suitable footwear for the training session.
