Ten training providers across the Northern Rivers region of NSW offer short licence and ticket courses, often just called tickets, with prices from $70 to $1800 and typical durations ranging from three hours to three days.

These courses cover common workplace requirements such as white card, RSA, first aid, forklift and working at heights, needed by tradies, hospitality staff and other workers before starting on many sites. High-risk work licences such as forklift are assessed under SafeWork NSW rules, while other tickets follow their own state-based requirements.

Providers on this page are based in suburbs including Alstonville, Ballina, Mullumbimby, Grafton and South Grafton, with a mix of classroom and practical assessment formats. Course length, renewal period and prerequisites depend on which ticket is being booked, so check the specific course listing for exact details before enrolling.

Frequently asked questions

How much do licence and ticket courses cost in Northern Rivers?: Prices among the 10 listed providers range from $70 to $1800, depending on the course. Shorter courses such as RSA typically sit at the lower end, while multi-day high-risk work licence courses cost more. Check the individual provider listing for an exact price.
How long do these courses take?: Typical durations range from three hours up to three days, depending on the course. Shorter courses like RSA or white card are often completed in under a day, while high-risk work licences such as forklift can run over two or three days.
How often do these tickets need to be renewed?: Renewal periods vary by course type and issuing authority. High-risk work licences are generally renewed every five years under SafeWork NSW, while other tickets may have different validity periods. Confirm renewal requirements with the specific provider or licensing body.
What do I need to bring, and is online training available?: Most courses require photo ID and some require a Unique Student Identifier (USI). Formats vary by provider, with some offering online theory combined with face-to-face practical assessment, and others running fully in-person. Check the individual listing for specific requirements.
