Excavator Ticket Courses in Sydney

Avatar photo Kristen Michaelides

Are you looking to get an excavator ticket in order to advance your career in Sydney’s booming Building & Construction industry? In order to become an excavator operator, you’ll need to take an excavator course and obtain the relevant ticket or license needed.

Excavators are used on civil construction, landfill and building sites, a certificate of competency being required to operate them. Employment prospects in the construction industry are strong, with there being projected to be more than 1,300,000 jobs by 2023.

This means that obtaining the right tickets and licenses for the use of excavators, as well as other earthmoving equipment like dozers, bobcats, skid steer loaders, front end loaders, backhoes, haul trucks and forklifts, will set you up for a successful career in the construction, building or mining industries.

What are excavator training courses, and why should I get one?


Excavator training courses provide practical and theoretical knowledge on operating excavators. While it is not a legal obligation to obtain excavator training, doing so will allow you to work with greater confidence and contribute to a safer working environment. By taking an excavator training course, you will learn machine operator maintenance, operation and the correct use of control measures.

By obtaining an excavator ticket, you will find yourself being highly sought-after in the industry. While tickets are no longer mandatory for operating an excavator, being able to demonstrate your skills will make you highly employable in an already competitive industry.

Not to mention, you’ll likely be hired by sites who abide by high standards, and are therefore more likely to pay better, provide better conditions, and hire people for longer time frames. This means that in order to score the best jobs on offer, it’s well worth adding as many certifications and qualifications to your repertoire as you can.
