All learners must be 16 years or older and will be required to provide photographic identification upon arriving for their course.

• In South Australia a child of compulsory school age (between 6-16 years of age) cannot be employed during the hours that they are required to attend school or participate in an approved training program.
• If you are under 16 years of age, you can still apply for Civil Train SA courses, but you will need to talk to your School’s principal to discuss your exemption. The principal will provide you with the appropriate exemption application form and tell you what evidence or documentation is required.

As part of your course enrolment at Civil Train there is a requirement that you complete a short online quiz. This will assist Civil Train to understand your current levels of language, literacy and numeracy (LLN), to ensure you are at the appropriate level to successfully complete your selected training course. This is a one-time quiz and results will be saved to your learner file and referred to for all future enrolments.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy skills required for this course include:

• identify hazards and apply control measures according to procedures
• communicate while using breathing apparatus
• determine the available working time from a breathing apparatus set
• report faults and/or damage to breathing apparatus

Please note: Civil Train only carries out assessments in English.  If English is your second language, you may engage a professional (accredited) and independent translator at your cost, for training purposes only.  However, you will be required to undertake the assessment in English without the aid of your translator.

You must be clean shaven to undertake the breathing apparatus assessment.
