Building Confidence, Skills, and Careers Across Australia
Premier Standards was founded on a simple yet powerful idea: to increase the quality, safety, and competency standard of Australia’s construction workforce. Since 2007, we’ve been delivering training that goes beyond compliance, focusing on building confident, job-ready operators who understand the real demands of site work.
As the industry has evolved, so have we. Today, Premier Standards is part of the Premier group of companies, standing alongside Premier Scaffolds, one of Queensland’s most trusted scaffolding providers. Together, we share a common purpose: raising industry standards, developing skilled people, and delivering excellence in every job, every day.
Our name reflects our mission. Premier Standards exists to set the benchmark for training across construction, civil, earthmoving, heights, and safety. We are driven by a desire to empower workers with real skills, real confidence, and real opportunities.
Guided by Purpose, Grounded in Excellence
At Premier Standards, our mission is clear: to train the leaders of tomorrow. We aim to lift capability across the construction sector by delivering quality training that is practical, safe, and grounded in real industry expectations.
Our values guide everything we do. They aren’t just statements; they’re the standards we live by.
Safety First, Always
Safety is at the heart of every decision we make.
Quality Without Compromise
We deliver training that meets the highest standards.
Respect for Every Learner and Worksite
Every individual and workplace deserves our utmost respect.
Commitment to Lifelong Learning
Growth doesn’t stop after training—it’s a lifelong journey.
Leadership Through Example
We lead by doing, not just saying.
Building People, Not Just Qualifications
Our focus is on empowering individuals, not just ticking boxes.
Words We Live By
The words that line our training centre walls capture the essence of who we are:
“The only person you are destined to become, is the person you decide to be.”
“True nobility is being superior to your former self.”
These aren’t just quotes—they’re the mindset we instil in every learner who walks through our doors.
Practical Training for Real-World Success
At Premier Standards we work with individuals, small businesses, and major contractors across Queensland to build safer, more capable workforces. Whether it’s preparing someone for their first job, helping a skilled worker obtain a licence, or supporting a company’s compliance requirements, we deliver training that makes a genuine difference on site.
Our approach is simple: practical skills, expert trainers, real-world scenarios, superior training facilities, and unwavering standards.

Empowering Women in Construction to Build, Lead, and Succeed
We believe the construction industry is stronger, safer, and more innovative when women are represented, supported, and empowered to lead. At Premier Standards, we actively encourage women to step into civil construction, earthmoving, scaffolding, and safety roles with confidence. Our learning environment is welcoming, inclusive, and designed to build capability—not barriers.
Our training programs emphasise that skill, determination, and attitude matter far more than stereotypes. Through our partnership with Premier Scaffolds and our growing network of industry employers, we continue to advocate for more pathways, visibility, and support for women at every stage of their construction career. For us, promoting women in construction isn’t just a goal—it’s a responsibility. Together, we rise.
Trainers Who Know the Job Inside and Out
Our trainers and assessors bring decades of combined industry experience across civil construction, scaffolding, rigging, height safety, and plant operations. They are passionate educators who have worked on real job sites and understand the demands placed on today’s workforce.
Every member of the Premier Standards team shares the same goal: to help learners succeed, grow, and reach their full potential.
Success Stories and Industry Partnerships
Our credibility is built on long-standing industry relationships and the success of the thousands of students we’ve trained since 2007. We are proud to work closely with our sister company, Premier Scaffolds, whose reputation in the scaffolding sector reflects the same values we uphold – quality, trust, safety, and service.
Our growing list of employers, contractors, and industry partners choose Premier Standards because they know we deliver training that is practical, compliant, and aligned with real-world expectations.
I found Premier Standards to have a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The admin staff were extremely helpful getting me the best deal with chosen machinery and with the initial setup of accounts theory and all communication's. I'd recommend this company for training as it provided me all I seeked and the eagerness to do more.
Really great RTO - I felt I developed a good knowledge base and got to spend as much time as needed to acquire the practical skills, in a structured but relaxed environment. Thanks to Greg who was an awesome tutor and very patient when teaching 🙂 Would definitely recommend and would consider sitting other licenses here!
Last week I have completed a forklift course with Premier Standards. The whole experience, 3 days of it, totally exceeded my expectations. From the initial booking, communication, facilities, great equipment, dedicated and knowledgeable instructors to plenty of practice using different kinds of forklifts - it was great. Everyone there is friendly, helpful and want you to do your best. I highly recommend this school for forklift, truck or heavy machinery training.
Fantastic team of Administration and Trainers. Made our company group training very simple and our team had a great experience. Highly recommend!
From the moment I first contacted Premier Standards they have been nothing but professional, informative, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I will definitely be dealing with them again and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking their services.
