Licensed Training Provider

The WPCG recognise there is a need to provide an efficient program for larger organisations with many employees. The Licenced Training Provider (LTP) program allows for organisations to be licenced to provide Work Clearance Issuer training, by their own trainers, to their own staff. The LTP model focuses on a Company Licence relationship, not the individual Trainer, with WPCG.

Click here to see the letter from the WPCG Management Group outlining the changes to the structure from the previous Company Trainer program.

To qualify as an LTP, your organisation will need to provide evidence of company policies, standards or procedures that outline how the organisation maintains quality training and assessment practices. The organisation will need to agree to implement the training on specific terms and conditions as outlined in a Licenced Agreement.

Trainers must meet minimum training qualifications and experience.:

  • Minimum of 2 years experience as a trainer (preferable in safety or petroleum field)
  • Minimum Cert IV in training and assessment
  • Minimum 5 years experience in downstream petroleum industry or equivalent

The LTP may only train employees of the LTP (including all branches and locations of the organisation across Australia) to be a Work Clearance Issuer. The LTP may not train Permit Officers, all Permit Officers must be trained by the WPCG directly.

The WPCG are now providing virtual training. The LTP is not permitted to train subcontractors under any circumstances.
