As a Certificate IV qualified heavy vehicle driver Trainer and Assessor, registered with Queensland Transport, we ensure that all assessments and training meet the standard requirements to reach a competent level, as required by State and Federal legislations. We also ensure that you are meeting the Australian Driver Training Organisations (ADTO) code of conduct.

On-Site Machinery Training & Courses

Our trainers are also available to travel overseas (please contact directly to arrange). Locally, we have trainers travelling to the Chinchilla and Surat Basin areas and all over Queensland 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. 

Smiths Training Services choose to align with a number of RTO’s to enable us to deliver a wider range of training services.

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.
