How these figures are worked out
- Only providers that hold the unit on their scope of registration on the national training register (training.gov.au) are included.
- Each provider counts once, at its lowest advertised price for this course, so a provider with many sessions cannot skew the result.
- Prices come from each provider's own website. Prices more than five times or less than a fifth of the category median, and $0 fee-free-if-eligible listings, are excluded.
- Refresher, update and verification-of-competency courses are left out and shown separately, so a short refresher never reads as the price of the full course.
- Assessment-only courses (recognition of prior learning, skills assessments) are left out too: they are for people who can already do the work, so they cost less than the full course.
- 1 of 12 advertised prices say whether GST is included; the rest are shown as advertised.
- Figures update automatically as providers' prices change. This page reflects data as at November 2026.

EWP licence in NSW: when you need one and when you don’t
The WP high risk work licence covers boom-type EWPs with a boom of 11 metres or more. Scissor lifts and smaller booms need training, not a licence.
