"We have just completed our new Work at Heights and Confined Space training area," manager/director Vic Walker of Achieve Training said.

"We supply training and assessing for High Risk Units including Forklift, EWP greater than 11 metres as well as Dogging and C2 Crane up to 20 tonnes.

"Plus we also supply training on Earthmoving equipment such as Front End Loaders, Excavators and Skidsteers as well as Work Safely at Heights, First Aid and General Construction (White Card).

"When I first started the business, the only training we supplied was for Forklift and First Aid but now we can offer a larger selection of courses.

"After working for BHP Transport for most of my working life, I identified that there was a demand for training of heavy equipment in circumstances where a person did not have access to the machines," Vic added.

"I began as a sole trader at Coniston in 1996 then moved to Port Kembla for three years and have been at the present location for two years."
