Overview

What Is EWP Yellow Card and High Risk Work Licence Brisbane?

If you operate elevated work platforms in construction, maintenance, warehousing or industrial environments, proper certification is essential. We provide professional training for both the EWP Yellow Card (under 11 metres) and the WP High Risk Work Licence (boom-type EWP over 11 metres) in Brisbane.

Our courses ensure you meet Queensland safety regulations while gaining the practical skills and confidence to operate EWPs safely and legally.

What Is An Elevated Work Platform (Ewp)?

An elevated work platform is a machine designed to lift workers to height safely so they can perform tasks such as installation, repairs, construction, electrical work and maintenance.

If needed, additional training can be provided at an additional cost.

Scissor lifts

Boom lifts (knuckle boom and straight boom)

Vertical lifts

Trailer-mounted lifts

Depending on the type of EWP and its boom length, you may require either:

EWP Yellow Card

WP High Risk Work Licence

for boom-type EWPs with a boom length of 11 metres or more

Wp High Risk Work Licence (Over 11 Metres)

If you operate a boom-type EWP with a boom length of 11 metres or more, Queensland law requires you to hold a WP High Risk Work Licence. This is a nationally recognised licence issued after successful assessment.

Training includes:

Upon successful completion, you will be assessed as competent and eligible for your WP High Risk Work Licence.

I had a great experience completing my forklift licence. The environment was calm and laid-back while still being professional. The trainer was helpful, supportive, and explained everything clearly, which made the whole process easy to follow. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get their forklift licence.

I recently completed my HR licence training with Robin, and I’m really grateful for the way he supported me through the whole process. I was nervous going into it, especially with it being something completely new, but Robin made the training feel comfortable and easy to learn from.

What stood out the most was how patient he was whenever I made mistakes. He never made me feel rushed or pressured. Instead, he explained things clearly, helped me understand what I needed to fix, and gave me the confidence to keep improving.

By the time it came to my test, I felt a lot more prepared and confident because of his guidance. I’m really happy to have passed, and I’d definitely recommend Robin to anyone looking to get their HR licence with a trainer who is patient, supportive, and genuinely wants you to succeed.

I completed my HR licence with Robin and had a great experience from start to finish. Communication was excellent, booking was easy, and all instructions were clear and straightforward.
I didn't pass my first assessment, but Robin took the time to explain exactly what I needed to improve and helped me book additional training and a retest. The feedback was honest, practical and focused on making me a safer and more confident driver rather than just getting me through the test.
The training vehicle was well presented, the assessment process was professional, and I never felt rushed or pressured. Thanks to Robin's guidance I successfully obtained my HR licence and now feel much more confident driving heavy vehicles.
Thanks again Robin for your patience, professionalism and support. I would happily recommend Brisbane Truck Licences to anyone looking to get their HR licence.

I recently completed my HR licence training with Robin, and I can honestly say his guidance made all the difference. Even though I was nervous starting out, his calm, clear approach and patience helped build my confidence behind the wheel straight away. He doesn’t just teach you to pass the test — he teaches you how to drive properly and safely in the real world. Thanks to Robin’s support and practical advice, I went into my test feeling prepared and came out with a pass. Highly recommend his training to anyone looking to get their HR licence the right way.
