Based in Brisbane, Qld, Smiths Training Services is one of the preferred training providers to some of Queensland’s largest construction companies working in the civil and on APLNG projects. We have students that travel as far from Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin and Cairns to receive quality training and nationally recognised qualifications. We can even arrange to pick you up from Brisbane Airport (conditions apply). All machinery and vehicle training is on-site only. We have an air conditioned training room for classroom based training only.
On-Site Machinery Training & Courses
Our trainers are also available to travel anywhere globally. Locally, we have trainers traveling to the Beenleigh, Dalby, Chinchilla, Roma, Gladstone, Mackay, Townsville and Mt Isa areas and beyond to deliver training. This saves time off the job, saves on travel expenses and gives your staff practical work-specific experience on your equipment.
We regularly send training teams to Papua New Guinea to undertake all types of training courses including heavy vehicle training courses for trucks and mining equipment.

Why dealing directly with Smiths Training Services is better than dealing with an RTO?
- Whilst the RTO is the one that issues the nationally recognised competencies, they still rely on trainer/assessor to deliver the training.
- The RTO is the admin component of training. The trainer/assessor is the person with the industry experience.
- Whenever you have questions about a course, the majority of the time the RTO cannot answer them and has to refer back to the trainer/assessor.
- The RTO will send whatever trainer/assessor they have available and at times one with little to no industry experience.
- Dealing directly with Smiths Training;
- We will deal with the right RTO for your nationally recognised qualifications.
- We are the trainer/assessors, the ones with the real industry experience.
- When you engage our services you know who your trainer is.
- The vast majority of times we can answer your questions without hesitation.
- We are a small family owned business, not a big corporate provider that possibly only treat you as a number.
- We never cancel our courses, once committed, the course goes ahead, regardless of numbers.
- Many RTO’s attempt to engage our services regularly to deliver training on their behalf.
