Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I live in a different State. Can I travel to NSW to do my course?
A:
A person should be trained and assessed for a high risk work licence in the state where they normally reside, however if circumstances exist to warrant it, SafeWork NSW can approve an application from an interstate resident. An example may be where a person has long term employment in NSW but their normal residential address is interstate (fly in, fly out workers). In this case, you must contact SafeWork licensing unit directly (via 13 10 50) and you will be asked to email in some details. You will then get a written response from SafeWork NSW. Approval is not guaranteed.

Q: What is the assessment process?
A:
Our NSW EWP course is made up of two days training and one day of assessment. Participants will be required to successfully complete a series of SafeWork NSW mandated assessment items. On day three you will undergo written knowledge and calculations assessment and (if eligible) you will undergo practical skills assessments. All assessments will be “closed book” and conducted by a SafeWork NSW Accredited Assessor (who is independent of Pinnacle Safety and Training). This mandated assessment is required to be administered by all RTOs offering this High Risk training.

Q: What do I need to bring to my training?
A: 100 points of identification. To participate in the formal assessment you must provide 100 points of identification to your Trainer. This identification is to be presented to your Trainer on day one of your training. If you do not present your 100 points of identification you can not participate in the formal assessment. To help you determine how you can collate your 100 points refer to the SafeWork NSW website: http://www.safework.nsw.gov.au/licences-and-registrations/licences/evidence-of-identity

Q: I failed one or more of the assessments. What does this mean for me? Can I come back and re-sit them?
A: Not everyone passes the first go – don’t be embarrassed if this happens. Even knowledgeable people may struggle to answer the technically specific exam, as the answers need to be provided precisely in accordance with SafeWork NSW standards. If this occurs, you may study the material in your own time, and return within 60 days to re-sit the assessment, at a cost of $198.

Q: I attended part of the training, and I now no longer wish to proceed with any more training or assessment. Can I have a refund?
A: No. The course fee you paid relates to the formal training you have already received. If you choose not to proceed with this for any reason, no refund or partial-refund will be provided. This is in accordance with our standard Terms and Conditions you accept upon enrolment.

  • Be ready and willing to study, memorise and complete review questions at night in order to have the best chance of successfully completing the written assessment.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN)

  • If English is your second language, you must advise us at time of booking. Contact our Sales and Service Team on 1300 990 810 to determine your eligibility to undertake this training.

  • You will require at least a Year 10 level of numeracy, literacy and communication skills. If you have any doubts, please let us know so we can assist you.
  • The Regulator does not allow an interpreter to be used during the mandated formal assessment.

Before enrolling in this course SafeWork NSW state that:

  • You must not have had a WHS authorisation suspended or cancelled (expired authorisations are excluded) by any Australian certifying authority within the last five years. TRUE/FALSE

Great facilities, great staff, modern equipment, very well run organisation. Trainer Brad was first class, best course I’ve ever attended. Thank you!

RPQ

Peter was an excellent trainer with immediate answers to all the questions asked. He had a strong knowledge of the course content. Even when it came to queries I had about WorkSafe (which were outside the scope of the course), he went out of his way to find out the answers for me. Was very pleased with both the standard and the delivery of the course.

Public Course Participant

With the quality of training and positive reinforcement from the trainer I have happily recommended to my employer that all our employees be trained at this facility for all courses required in the future.
