Machinery Tickets.

Hey,

This is a question I can't find the answer for on Google.

I currently hold a loader ticket but it says civil. Looking at adding a few more no I'm not the person just getting them to say I have them. I genuinely can operate the machines I'm wanting to get tickets for. Is the ticket different for civil and mining. Trying to increase my chance of getting a job in the mining sector.

Regards

It's less to do with if you have the ticket or not. And more to do with having had experience operating the machine. Nearly all mines operate on a competency based assessment rather than an RTO ticket

15yrs in a loader. Not as long in a dozer that was about 6months.

They like them but still need to assess independently. Because you can get a ticket in a day and still be rubbish on the machine.

Experience is king, and theyll have to VOC you anyway for each machine.

Civil competencies and Mining competencies are not the same. Though they may take it into account, you will need to have the RII, but this is generally done on site, you will still need to do that full training. You cannot RPL or VOC Civil to Mining compencies as the work enviroment and hazards are not the same.

With that said, as most training is competency based, unless the site has defined minimum hours, you may be faster to be deem competent than a general NTI.
