dump truck ticket questions answered

What are the dump truck ticket unit codes?

There are two. RIIMPO337 Conduct articulated haul truck operations covers articulated haul trucks, and RIIMPO338 Conduct rigid haul truck operations covers rigid haul trucks. Both are current on training.gov.au and supersede the older E versions. Many provider pages still show the old codes (RIIMPO337E, RIIMPO338E and one RIIMPO337D), so confirm the code when you book.

How much does a dump truck ticket cost?

Across 10 providers, published prices run $650 to $1,500, as listed on each provider's own page and last checked 10 October 2026. Articulated and rigid courses are often priced separately, and some providers show no price. Funding and session location can change what you pay.

Is a dump truck ticket a high risk work licence?

No. Both units state that no licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to the unit at the time of publication. The WA high risk work licensing page does not name dump trucks, WorkSafe Victoria says earthmoving equipment needs no HRWL, and SafeWork NSW says HRWLs are no longer required for earth moving plant. Check your state regulator and your site.

Articulated or rigid: which course do I need?

It depends on the truck you will drive. RIIMPO337 is for articulated haul trucks and RIIMPO338 is for rigid haul trucks. Saferight sells them as separate courses at different prices. Ask your employer or site which truck type they need before you book.

What is a VOC and will a site ask for one?

A verification of competency (VOC) checks you can already do the task safely. Saferight says there is no nationally set VOC expiry, and many companies ask for one every 2 to 3 years or when you start a new job. Ask your employer or site what they accept.

Is any funding available?

Some providers advertise it. Coal Train Training says its articulated course has funding under Construction Skills Queensland. Noble Training Group lists a $200 subsidised rate for eligible CSQ funded workers. Saferight shows CTF gap fees of $402 (articulated) and $752 (rigid) for eligible WA workers. Eligibility rules apply, so check with the provider.

Do I need a driver licence or a minimum age?

It varies by provider. RMS Training lists a minimum age of 18 and says a C class licence is required. Other providers list minimum ages from 16 (Australian Operator Training, Major Training Group) to 17 (Coal Train Training). Check the provider's page for your course.
