After extensive industry consultation, the State Government is committing up to $6.1 million to train more Western Australians in heavy vehicle driving. 

The job-ready Heavy Vehicle Driving Operations Skill Set and driver training will train an estimated 1,000 skilled workers needed by the transport industry to avoid skill shortages.

​All the reporting was finalised earlier this month between the LDSC, the Department of Training and Workforce Development and the State Training Board (STB). The TLI40218 Certificate IV in Mobile Crane Operations qualification is currently under consideration by the STB Establishment and Variation of Apprenticeships Committee (EVAC), prior to submission to the Minister for Training and Workforce Development for endorsement.
