Your Roller Ticket: A Practical Path to the Job Site

 

Picture this: You’re on a bustling construction site, the sun baking down on your high-vis vest, as you skillfully manoeuvre a CAT CS56B roller over freshly laid gravel. It’s your job to compact the surface until it’s as solid as a rock. The site supervisor gives you a thumbs-up, and the foreman radios in, “We’re ready for the asphalt.” Feels pretty good, right? That’s the kind of real-world scenario you’ll be stepping into once you’ve got your roller ticket in hand.

Our roller course isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about getting you job-ready. We’ve trained everyone from absolute beginners to experienced labourers looking to upskill. Let’s break down exactly what you’ll get out of this course.

Let Affordable Industry Training help. We have years of experience in helping construction and public works professionals get their roller ticket and we can help you too.

We are a RTO (Registered Training Organisation), which means that we can train and assess for this type of course.

We pride ourselves on offering friendly, professional training at a relatively low rate; we may also be able to offer a discount if you have your own machine to work with (please note that the Rollers used for training are minimum 2L, per Workplace Health and Safety guidelines).

At Affordable Industry Training, you’ll be working towards your roller ticket with a team of friendly, fully-accredited assessors and trainers that have years of accumulated experience they’ll put to excellent use. You’re sure to get your roller licence quickly when they’re helping you behind the controls. We issue you with a nationally recognised statement of attainment certificate plus a photo ID card on completion of the course.

 


 

What’s the Course Like?

 

This units covers roller operations in the civil construction industry. It includes planning and preparing, conducting machine pre-operational checks, operating the machine, monitoring hazards, adjusting interchangeable drums/bars/blades, relocating the machine, carrying out machine operator maintenance and cleaning up.

We offer our courses 7 days a week which is sure to fit around your work timetable. The courses run until you achieve competency in the standard and are fit to use a roller safely and professionally. This way, you’ll come out of our world-class training facility with all the accreditation you require to get working.

This course consists of a theory component and a practical training component. The theory component will include watching safety and instructional clips, as well as industry PowerPoint presentations. Once you have completed the theory, you’ll be given a training plan which includes all the RIIMPO317F elements and tasks for you to practice.

For the practical training, our training site, it’s the real deal. You’ll be out on uneven terrain, tackling everything from clay to compacted road base. Trust us, no two days are ever the same. is fully work-simulated and designed to resemble the modern worksite as much as possible, which ensures that you learn the necessary skills in the best possible environment. Once you’ve completed the training, you will move on to the assessments (theory and practical) once these are successfully completed you will be deemed competent in all areas.


 

Real Challenges, Real Solutions

 

Students often ask, “What’s the toughest part of operating a roller?” Honestly, it’s all about surface consistency. One of our trainees, Sarah, had a tough time figuring out how to handle soft spots on a road construction project. With some coaching, she learned to adjust her rolling patterns and nailed it by the end of the course. Now she’s earning top dollar working on mine site haul roads.

Another common struggle? Understanding vibration settings. Too much vibration, and you risk damaging the subbase. Too little, and you won’t get the compaction density you need. We’ll teach you how to strike the perfect balance.


 

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of this course, you’ll earn a Statement of Attainment for RIIMPO317F – Conduct Roller Operations. But more importantly, you’ll leave with the confidence to walk onto any job site and get straight to work. Our graduates have gone on to work on projects like the Cross River Rail and the Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion.

Here’s the good news: The RIIMPO317F ticket is nationally recognised, meaning you can take your skills anywhere in Australia. Whether it’s a local job or a FIFO role, this ticket’s got you covered.

Glad you asked! This ticket opens doors to a range of gigs. You could be working on civil construction projects, roadworks, or even large-scale mining operations. Think road compacting, prepping ground for major builds, or maintaining haul roads in the mines. Some of our past students have gone on to work on projects like the Toowoomba Bypass or FIFO gigs in WA.

This ticket is specifically for rollers, but many employers value multi-skilled operators. Once you’ve got this under your belt, you might want to upskill with other plant tickets like excavators or skid steers. Got ambitions? We’ve got the courses to match.
