Backhoe Course Outcome
To complete the course, students must successfully complete all assessments which are aligned with the national unit of competency.
Upon successful completion of the course requirements, students will receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the unit of competency.
Your Statement of Attainment does not have an expiry date, however, most sites will want your SOA dated within a 2 year period so some employers may require you to be VOC’d or refresh your competency to retain your currency.
