Course Aim
Trainees that complete this course will gain a good understanding of the hazards and risks of working in and around excavations, the different types of excavations and the types of precautions and protective systems that can be used to mitigate the hazards and risks, combining theory and practical assessments participants will demonstrate the following skills.

If you drive a special-type vehicle that isn't a forklift on the road, you must have a W, T or R endorsement on your driver licence.

This course includes theory and practical components and includes:

• W Endorsement - vehicles that run on wheels that aren’t forklifts, passenger vehicles, tractors, fire engines, trade vehicles or vehicle recovery service vehicles
• R Endorsement - vehicles that run on rollers.
• T Endorsement - vehicles that run on self-laying tracks.

The size weight and speed of the vehicle will be relevant to the class of licence you hold.

If a Trainee is enrolling on a vehicle driver license or endorsement course including but not limited to Car Lessons, Class 2-5 Trucks, W,T,R,F,D or V endorsements that the trainee clearly checks the pre requirement for class of license and duration stated on the course proposal or booking sheet. M.O.S.T will do our best to confirm prior to the course with the trainee, but it is the trainee who is responsible for confirming their own situation before booking a course.

The Trainee on all license and endorsement courses must also bring their physical driver license on each and every day of the enrolled course to be sited by the instructor, this can be a temporary paper license or a full photo license. If a temporary paper license trainees are encouraged to also bring a separate form of photo identification. NO PHYSICAL LICENSE, NO COURSE ATTENDANCE and  the trainee will be released from the course and treated as a non-attendance in line with our cancelation policy
