Roller/Compactor Training Course

RIIMPO317F
Conduct Civil Construction Roller/Compactor Operations

Our Roller/Compactor Training (RIIMPO317F) is designed to provide students with the essential skills and knowledge required to safely and efficiently operate a roller/compactor. within the construction, roadworks, mining, and other sectors that require earthmoving and compaction equipment.

The RIIMPO317F unit combines theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring participants can confidently and competently use a roller/compactor in real-world scenarios. Practical assessments typically simulate on-site operations to confirm the operator’s ability to work effectively and safely.

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • Preparing for Operations: Conducting pre-start and safety checks on the roller/compactor, identifying and assessing site hazards and implementing control measures and understanding the operational requirements and work instructions for compaction tasks.
  • Operating the Roller/Compactor: Driving and manoeuvring the roller/compactor safely on various terrains and under different site conditions, understanding different compaction techniques and adjusting operations for soil, asphalt, or other materials, operating the roller/compactor in accordance with site and safety regulations and managing the vibration, amplitude, and frequency settings to achieve desired compaction results.
  • Monitoring and Adjusting Operations: Monitoring the performance and effectiveness of compaction activities, identifying and rectifying operational problems or irregularities and ensuring even compaction across the designated area and achieving project specifications.
  • Shutting Down and Post-Operational Activities: Conducting post-operational checks and inspections, cleaning, securing, and maintaining the roller/compactor and completing and submitting operational logs and records.

The course typically takes 1 to 2 days depending on the participant’s level of experience and the course’s specific requirements.

  • Beginners: Those new to operating roller/compactors and interested in starting a career in the civil construction, earthmoving, or materials handling industries.
  • Experienced Operators: Those seeking formal qualifications to validate their existing skills and knowledge.
  • Employers: Businesses that need to upskill their workforce to ensure safe and efficient machine operation on construction or mining sites.

Experienced operators must have a minimum of 60 hours of operating a roller/compactor within the last twelve months and can be verified by an employer reference.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a Statement of Attainment for the RIIMPO317F unit and Verification of Competency Certificate (VOC), which is nationally recognised and qualifies them to operate roller/compactor across a range of industries.

Excellent location and Facilities, a large enough training area that you can actually get a feel for the machine that you are using . Also, the courses are designed that you get plenty of time in the Driver seat.
The staff are excellent with a wealth of knowledge and give you enough Space that you don’t feel intimidated while driving the machines , and enough guidance without feeling like they constantly looking over your shoulder. Would highly recommend the course to anyone who wanted to learn or just simply upskill

Testimonials
Ross and the team at RAS provide an excellent learning environment – focussed, thorough and professional, but always relaxed, informal and very encouraging. From my initial inquiry to the follow-up and outstanding employment support, Ross delivers an exemplary Service.

HIghlights.

> Small class size (4 in my group), giving us all ample time on the Moxy. The course was all about time in the seat – Operating! and the work we completed was for a commercial operation.

> Our trainer, Steve, is a very experienced operator delivering hands-off guidance, great encouragement, and valuable machine and industry insight. He was particularly good at grouping participants in a manner that maximised learning outcomes and efficiency.

> Ross has a way of making you feel very welcome and comfortable. His follow – up and employment support is above and beyond. He’s lined me up with a start on a Moxy just a week and a half following certification. Awesome.

Plant training doesn’t get better than RAS. My only question is what machine next? Pleased to have been pointed in their direction – they’ve provided invaluable assistance making my somewhat significant career change move ahead at lightning pace.

Highly recommended.
