Participants will demonstrate:
- Planning and preparing for scraper operations

Further Course Information
To successfully complete the course, students must provide one of the following:
-
Letter of Support – from an employer or supervisor with experience on the machine confirming the student’s
competency,

If the logbook is not completed before the course, the trainer will need to return at a later date to finalise the assessment sign-off.
