Online theory, or all in one day?
RIIWHS204E is assessed on what you can do, so the online option is theory at home plus a half-day practical in Malaga. If you'd rather get it all done in one go, book the face-to-face day.
Every option issues a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for RIIWHS204E Work safely at heights, delivered by Workforce Training Group, RTO Registration Code: 46093.

Can I get a heights ticket completely online?
No. RIIWHS204E needs you to show a trainer you can fit a harness and work at height safely. The theory is online, and the practical is a half day in Malaga.
How much is the blended course?
$190 all in, GST free, including all harness and fall-arrest gear.
How long does the online part take?
Around 4 to 6 hours, self-paced. Start and stop as you need, but have it finished before your practical date.
How long is the practical?
Half a day, face to face at our Malaga facility.
Is it the same certificate as the face-to-face course?
Yes. Both lead to the same nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for RIIWHS204E, valid in every state and territory.
Is there an online refresher?
The refresher is a 3 to 4 hour session in person. If you'd rather do the theory at home, the blended course works for renewals too and doesn't ask for proof of your last ticket.
Where is the training held?
7 Montgomery Way, Malaga WA 6090, a few minutes from Reid and Tonkin Highways, with limited free parking on site. All heights training runs from Malaga.
