Ready to expand your skills in operating hoists and unlock new career opportunities? The CPCCLHS3001 Licence to Operate a Personnel and Materials Hoist course provides the essential skills and knowledge required to safely operate hoists used to transport personnel, goods, or materials vertically on construction sites.

Course Delivery
At Premier Standards, we understand the importance of flexible, streamlined learning options that fit with your existing work commitments. That’s why we offer a blended learning model, combining online or classroom theory with practical, hands-on training using industry-standard personnel and materials hoists.
Participants are encouraged to complete the online theory component prior to training, ensuring more time is available for practical learning and assessment. The practical training and assessment components are then typically delivered over two days onsite at Premier Standards, using a fully equipped hoist training facility that replicates real site conditions. Alternatively, on-site assessment can be arranged for employers with suitable equipment and facilities that meet training requirements.
Training is conducted by qualified assessors who hold current High Risk Work Licences and extensive industry experience.

What Our Students and Partners Say
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.
