Short courses open for enrolment!
Short courses are a great opportunity to expand upon your current skill set, within or outside of your industry. Our short courses offered are incredibly comprehensive as we always ensure our students feel confident and demonstrate competency in whatever activity or new knowledge they are undertaking. Upon completion of our courses, typically over a 1-2 day period, you will be issued a Statement of Attainment for your records/further application processes for licensing.

ACDC
Our course for Agricultural Chemicals Distribution Control covers 3 units of competency selected by the Department of Primary Industries designed to address the specific skills and knowledge required to be able to apply for an ACDC unrestricted licence.

Under the Agricultural Chemicals Distribution Control Act 1966, to utilise ground equipment to distribute herbicides on land that you do not own or occupy, you may require a commercial operator's licence. This will depend on the type of equipment you will be utilising and whether or not your activities will be conducted in a declared hazardous area, regulated area or non regulated area of Queensland.
