This will be followed by the employee spending time on the machine (a recommended 144 hours) in the workplace performing various tasks as the workplace dictates under supervision of a suitable person. All details to be recorded in a log book and signed off by the employee’s supervisor. This will then be followed up by a second visit to the workplace where the student will be assessed to determine competence.For experienced operators who already have considerable skills and do not require further training there will be the opportunity to undertake the assessment component of the course.
