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 principle 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:

• Using a range of communications techniques and equipment
• Complying with written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures
• Carrying out basic calculations of heights, areas, volumes and grades
• Interpreting features of plans and elevations including direction, scale, key, contours, symbols and abbreviations
• Interpreting commonly used civil construction symbols and abbreviations
• Application of scales in plan preparation and interpretation

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.
