This is only a learner's guide, and if you want to gain accreditation against the above units of competence, further theory and on the job practical assessment will need to be done. If you are working with a trainer discuss with your trainer how they would like you to complete and mark activities.

To gain formal accreditation you will need to enrol with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that is able to conduct Training and Assessment in the Forest Industry.

When you enrol with an RTO you have the assessment process explained to you.

If you would like to find a Registered Training Organisation in your area that may be able to deliver these units you can log onto the training.gov.au website for further information.

L.I.T.A is an RTO that is able to deliver forestry units of competency.
