This offering is available to eligible Queensland participants through the Queensland Government Career Start – General Training Pathway. \n\nDirect enrolment – no employer or Training Contract required\nThe General Training Pathway allows eligible students to enrol directly with PTG. You do not need to be employed in the maritime industry or have a registered apprenticeship or traineeship Training Contract\, unless a separate course or regulatory requirement applies.\n\nCareer Start funding eligibility\n\nParadigm Training Group is an approved Queensland Government Skills Assure Supplier. For eligible students\, the Queensland Government contributes towards the cost of training by paying an applicable subsidy directly to PTG.

It is required where the student intends to apply for the AMSA Coxswain Grade 1 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency.\n\n\nCompletion period\n\nThe complete AMPA must be completed within 12 months of the date of the first assessed AMPA task. \n\n\nValidity after completion\n\nOnce completed\, the AMPA is valid for submission to AMSA for 12 months from the date the assessor signs the completed cover page. \n\n\n\nPTG AMPA Fee: $500.00\nThis is a separate regulatory assessment fee and is not included in the Career Start Co-Contribution Fee. It is payable before participation in the booked AMPA.\n\nThe AMPA fee may be paid by the student or on the student's behalf by another person or organisation\, including an employer. \n\n\n\nInterim Certificate of Competency\n\nAfter an applicant has lodged their full Certificate of Competency application with AMSA\, they may ask an approved RTO to consider issuing an Interim Certificate of Competency. \n\nAn eligible Interim Certificate of Competency may allow the applicant to commence the applicable duties for up to 60 days while AMSA assesses the full application.\n\nIssue of an interim certificate is at the discretion of the RTO and is subject to AMSA requirements and verification of the applicable evidence. It is not automatically issued following completion of the course or AMPA. \n\n\n\nCareer Start Fees and Payment Schedule\n\nPTG publishes separate non-concessional and concessional Student Co-Contribution Fees for this Career Start General Training offering. \n\nThe Co-Contribution Fee is the total mandatory fee charged by PTG for delivery\, assessment\, standard learning resources and issue of the qualification.

It may be paid by the trainee or on the trainee's behalf by their employer or another eligible third party.\n\nAny Additional Co-Contribution Fee charged to the employer is separate from the trainee's Student Co-Contribution Fee.\n\n\nPayment Schedule 1\n\nOut-of-School Trainee\n\n\n\nWho is this for?\n\nAn out-of-school trainee is a person undertaking the qualification through a registered Queensland traineeship who is not registered as a School-Based Apprentice or Trainee. \n\nThis generally includes full-time and part-time trainees completing their traineeship outside secondary school. \n\n\nStudent Co-Contribution Fee\n\n$788.80\n\nFull-course Student Co-Contribution Fee.*\n\n\n*Based on the applicable $1.60 per nominal hour Career Start traineeship fee. Credit Transfer may reduce the final amount payable where applicable. \n\nStudent Payment Schedule\n\n\n\nInitial Payment - 30%\n\n$236.64\n\nInitial amount under PTG's standard payment schedule.\n\n\n\nRemaining Balance - 70%\n\n$552.16\n\nPayable later in accordance with PTG's invoice and agreed payment schedule.\n\n\n\nWhy is the fee split?\nPTG does not require more than 30% of the Student Co-Contribution Fee upfront unless the trainee or fee payer expressly requests to pay a higher amount.\n\nWho may pay the Student Co-Contribution Fee?\nThe trainee may pay the fee personally\, or the employer or another eligible third party may pay it on the trainee's behalf. It remains the trainee's Student Co-Contribution Fee regardless of who makes the payment.\n\n\n\nPayment Schedule 2\n\nSchool-Based Trainee\n\n\n\nWho is this for?\n\nA School-Based Apprentice or Trainee (SAT) is a secondary-school student completing a formally registered school-based apprenticeship or traineeship while continuing at school. \n\nSimply being school-aged or attending school does not make a traineeship school-based. The Training Contract must be formally registered as a School-Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship. \n\n\nStudent Co-Contribution Fee\n\n$0\n\nEligible school-based apprentices and trainees receive a full Student Co-Contribution Fee exemption.\n\n\nPayment Schedule\n\nThere is no Student Co-Contribution Fee to pay while the trainee remains eligible for the school-based fee exemption. \n\nIf the trainee leaves school before completing the traineeship\nIf the Training Contract converts from a school-based traineeship to a full-time or part-time traineeship\, a Student Co-Contribution Fee may become payable for units that have not yet commenced. PTG will confirm the applicable fee before further training proceeds.\n\n\n\nPayment Schedule 3\n\nEmployer\n\n\n\nWho is this for?\n\nThe employer is the business or organisation employing the trainee under the registered Training Contract and providing the workplace\, supervision and on-the-job training required for the traineeship. \n\n\nAdditional Co-Contribution Fee charged to the Employer\n\n$500.00\n\nWhere applicable and agreed as part of PTG's traineeship arrangement.\n\n\nThis fee is separate from the trainee's Student Co-Contribution Fee and separate from the Queensland Government subsidy. \n\nAny Additional Co-Contribution Fee charged to the employer is negotiated\, agreed and documented with the employer before the trainee enrols and training commences. \n\nPTG Employer Payment Schedule\n\n\n\nInitial Payment - 30%\n\n$150.00\n\n\n\nRemaining Balance - 70%\n\n$350.00\n\n\n\nThe employer's fee and payment schedule are confirmed in writing before the trainee enrols and training commences. \n\nSchool-based traineeships\nUnder PTG's current MAR20324 school-based traineeship offering\, the Additional Co-Contribution Fee charged to the employer is $0.\n\n\n\nSeparate Regulatory Assessment\n\nCoxswain Grade 1 AMSA Mandated Practical Assessment\n\n$500.00\n\nThe AMPA fee is separate from both the Student Co-Contribution Fee and the Additional Co-Contribution Fee charged to the employer. \n\nThe $500 AMPA fee may be paid by either the trainee or the employer. \n\nIf required\, the AMPA fee must be paid upfront. \n\nThe AMPA is not required to achieve MAR20324 itself. It is required where the applicant intends to obtain an AMSA Coxswain Grade 1 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency. \n\n\nTotal PTG Fee Summary\n\nThe totals below show the combined fees payable to PTG across the trainee and employer. They do not mean that the trainee personally pays the entire amount. \n\n\nOut-of-School Traineeship\n\n\n\nStudent Co-Contribution Fee\n\n$788.80\n\n\n\nEmployer Additional Co-Contribution Fee\n\n$500.00\n\n\n\nTotal PTG training fees\n\n$1\,288.80\n\n\n\nTotal if AMPA is also undertaken\n\n$1\,788.80\n\n\n\n\n\nEligible School-Based Traineeship\n\n\n\nStudent Co-Contribution Fee\n\n$0\n\n\n\nEmployer Additional Co-Contribution Fee\n\n$0\n\n\n\nTotal PTG training fees\n\n$0\n\n\n\nTotal if AMPA is also undertaken\n\n$500.00\n\n\n\n\nWho pays the AMPA?\nThe AMPA may be paid by either the trainee or the employer. The overall PTG fee total does not change; only the party responsible for the $500 AMPA payment changes.\n\nOther Costs\n\nThe following costs are not included in the PTG training fees shown above: \n\n\n	SROCP or higher marine-radio certification where not already held or separately included.\n	AMSA Certificate of Competency application fee.\n	Medical and eyesight assessment.\n	Photographs and identity-document costs.\n	Australia Post charges where applicable.\n	Travel\, accommodation and meals.\n	Personal clothing and equipment identified in the participation requirements.\n\n\nFees are confirmed before enrolment\nPTG will confirm the trainee's Career Start eligibility\, school-based or out-of-school status\, applicable Student Co-Contribution Fee\, any Credit Transfer adjustment\, any Additional Co-Contribution Fee agreed with the employer\, the applicable payment schedules and any separate regulatory costs before the funded enrolment is finalised.\n\n\n\nAMSA Mandated Practical Assessment and Interim Certificate\n\nThe Coxswain Grade 1 AMPA is the final practical assessment required by AMSA for an applicant seeking a Coxswain Grade 1 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency. \n\nQualification versus AMSA certification\nThe AMPA is not required to achieve MAR20324 itself. It is required for an applicant seeking the AMSA Coxswain Grade 1 Near Coastal Certificate of Competency.\n\nAfter the applicant has lodged their Certificate of Competency application with AMSA\, they may ask an approved RTO to consider issuing an Interim Certificate of Competency. \n\nAn Interim Certificate of Competency may permit an eligible applicant to commence the applicable duties for up to 60 days while AMSA assesses the full application. Issue is discretionary and subject to AMSA and RTO requirements.\n\n\n\nCredit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning\n\n\nCredit Transfer \n\nMay be available where valid evidence demonstrates successful completion of an identical or officially equivalent unit. A Student Co-Contribution Fee is not charged for a unit granted Credit Transfer. \n\n\nRecognition of Prior Learning \n\nMay be considered where sufficient\, valid\, authentic and current evidence demonstrates all requirements of the relevant unit. Funding and fee implications must be confirmed with PTG before proceeding. \n\n\n\nCredit Transfer or RPL for qualification units does not remove AMSA's separate sea-service\, medical\, first-aid\, marine-radio\, AMPA or application requirements. \n\n\n\nCareer Start Traineeship Enrolment\n\nSubmission of an online enrolment form does not by itself confirm Career Start eligibility or finalise a funded traineeship enrolment. \n\n\n\n1\n\nConfirm Training Contract\nPTG confirms the applicable Queensland traineeship and Training Contract.\n\n\n\n2\n\nVerify Funding Eligibility\nPTG completes the required Career Start eligibility and training-history checks.\n\n\n\n3\n\nReview Suitability\nExisting skills\, experience\, qualifications\, foundation skills and support requirements are reviewed.\n\n\n\n4\n\nReview Workplace\nPTG completes the required Employer Resource Assessment.\n\n\n\n5\n\nConfirm Training Plan and Fees\nThe Training Plan\, applicable student and employer fees\, school-based status\, Credit Transfer and payment arrangements are confirmed.\n\n\n\n6\n\nTraining Commences\nThe trainee receives access to the applicable resources and confirmed training schedule.\n\n\n\n\n\nStudent Support and Rights\n\nParadigm Training Group provides support according to the trainee's individual needs and the requirements of the qualification and Training Plan. \n\n\n	Language\, literacy\, numeracy and digital support.\n	Assistance accessing online learning.\n	Additional trainer guidance.\n	Reasonable adjustment where appropriate.\n	Further training or assessment opportunities.\n	Referral to external support services where appropriate.\n\n\nSupport and reasonable adjustment cannot remove competency requirements\, compromise assessment validity or safety\, override AMSA or funding requirements\, or guarantee a successful outcome.\n\nFurther information about fees\, refunds\, privacy\, complaints and appeals\, student responsibilities and support is available in the  Paradigm Training Group Student Handbook . \n\n\n\nFurther Maritime Pathways\n\n\nMAR30924 Certificate III in Maritime Operations - Master up to 24 metres Near Coastal\n\nMAR30824 Certificate III in Maritime Operations - Marine Engine Driver Grade 2 Near Coastal\n\n\nTraining-product requirements\, funding eligibility\, Credit Transfer\, sea service and AMSA requirements apply separately to each pathway. \n\n\n\nTraining product requirements\, licensing and regulatory requirements\, application processes\, fees and other external requirements may change from time to time.

The Long Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency (LROCP) is a separate marine radio certificate issued through the Office of Maritime Communications at the Australian Maritime College (AMC)\, acting under arrangements with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).\n\nView MARC043 on training.gov.au View AMSA Marine Radio Requirements \n\n\n\nMarine Radio Certificate Requirements\n\nSome AMSA Near Coastal Certificates of Competency require the applicant to already hold an appropriate marine radio operator certificate before applying to AMSA. \n\n\n\nSROCP\n\nThe Short Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency is used for VHF marine radio operations and is required for certain Near Coastal certificates\, including Coxswain Grade 1 Near Coastal. \n\n\n\nLROCP\n\nThe Long Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency covers VHF and MF/HF marine radio operations and is required for certain AMSA certificates\, including Master less than 24 metres\, Master less than 45 metres\, Master less than 100 metres and specified sailing-master certificates. \n\n\n\nMARC043 and the LROCP pathway\nMARC043 is the VET unit covering VHF and HF marine radio operation. A person who successfully completes the unit and receives the required nationally recognised certification may use the Unit of Competency recognition pathway with the AMC Office of Maritime Communications to apply for an LROCP\, subject to the AMC's current application\, identity\, age\, evidence and fee requirements.\n\n\n\nEntry and Pre-Enrolment\n\nMARC043 Transmit and receive information by marine radio has no prerequisite unit listed on the National Register. \n\nBefore confirming enrolment\, Paradigm Training Group (PTG) will review your training goals\, relevant maritime experience and qualifications\, language\, literacy\, numeracy and digital skills\, technology access and any support needs. PTG will then advise whether the training\, delivery arrangements and available support are suitable for you. \n\nPractical participation and support\n\nStudents must participate in practical and simulated marine-radio activities\, including VHF and HF radio communications\, distress\, urgency and safety communications\, operation of emergency radio equipment\, and basic equipment checks and fault finding. Please discuss any condition or support need that may affect participation with PTG before training begins. \n\nReasonable adjustments may be available where appropriate\, provided they do not remove competency requirements\, compromise assessment validity or safety\, or override applicable regulatory requirements. \n\n\nMarine radio certification\n\nMarine radio operators must hold the appropriate radio qualification for the equipment they operate. MARC043 covers both VHF and HF marine radio operation and is aligned with the Long Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency (LROCP). \n\nAfter successfully completing MARC043 and receiving a Statement of Attainment\, you may apply to the Australian Maritime College (AMC)\, acting as the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) delegate\, for the issue of an LROCP without sitting a further examination. Separate application requirements and fees may apply. \n\nMARC043 is also used as part of some AMSA maritime certification pathways. If you are completing this unit for an AMSA Certificate of Competency\, you should separately check the current AMSA requirements for the certificate you intend to obtain. \n\n\nUnique Student Identifier (USI)\n\nYou must provide a valid USI before PTG can issue your Statement of Attainment\, unless a lawful exemption applies. \n\n\n\nUnit Delivery\n\nPTG offers MARC043 through a blended delivery model combining online pre-learning\, trainer-supported study\, a face-to-face practical workshop and competency-based assessment. \n\n\n\n1\n\nOnline Pre-Learning\n\nLearning resources and theory assessment\n\n\n\n2\n\nPractical Workshop\n\nHalf face-to-face practical day\n\n\n\n3\n\nAssessment\n\nPractical assessment\n\n\n\nEnrolment period: up to three months\nStudents are provided up to three months to complete the required training and assessment activities.

SUMMARY:HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - 2025
DESCRIPTION:Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Fee-For-Service\nHLTAID009\n\n\nNationally Recognised Training\n\nHLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation\n\nDevelop the practical skills and knowledge required to recognise a cardiac emergency\, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and safely use an Automated External Defibrillator.\n\n\n\n\nDelivery\n\nOnline & Practical\n\n\n\nPractical Workshop\n\nHalf-Day Practical\n\n\n\nEnrolment Period\n\nUp to 3 Months\n\n\n\nCourse Outcome\n\nStatement of Attainment\n\n\n\n\nCourse Overview\n\nHLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is a nationally recognised unit of competency that provides participants with the skills and knowledge required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in accordance with Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. \n\nThe unit applies to people who may be required to provide CPR in a range of workplace and community settings and focuses on recognising a cardiac emergency\, assessing a casualty\, performing CPR\, safely using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)\, communicating with emergency services and reviewing the emergency response. \n\nParadigm Training Group delivers HLTAID009 through a blended learning model. Participants complete required online learning and knowledge activities before attending a practical face-to-face workshop where CPR and AED skills are developed\, practised and assessed. \n\nPractical sessions are hands-on and scenario-based. Where appropriate\, scenarios may be contextualised to reflect the types of environments or emergency situations participants may encounter in their workplace or community setting. Contextualisation does not alter or remove any competency or assessment requirement of HLTAID009. \n\nImportant\nHLTAID009 is a nationally recognised unit of competency. Successful completion results in a Statement of Attainment. It is not a standalone qualification\, occupational licence or guarantee of employment.\n\n\n\nCPR and Queensland Workplace Requirements\n\nHLTAID009 may be appropriate for people who are required by an employer\, industry body or workplace procedure to maintain current CPR skills\, or for anyone wishing to develop the ability to respond to a cardiac emergency. \n\nHLTAID009 is CPR training only\nCompletion of HLTAID009 alone should not be assumed to satisfy the training requirements for a designated workplace first aider. The Queensland First aid in the workplace Code of Practice 2021 states that\, as a minimum\, workplace first aiders should hold nationally recognised Provide First Aid training or training providing equivalent skills. Additional training may also be required depending on workplace risks.\n\nThe Queensland Code of Practice recommends that first aiders undertake CPR refresher training annually to refresh their skills and confirm their competence. \n\nEmployers and participants should confirm any specific CPR or first aid requirements that apply to their workplace\, industry\, licence\, professional registration or other regulatory arrangement. \n\n\n\nEntry and Pre-Enrolment\n\nThe training package does not specify prerequisite units for HLTAID009. \n\nBefore enrolment is confirmed\, Paradigm Training Group will consider whether the course\, delivery arrangements and available support are suitable for the prospective student. \n\n\n\nLearning and participation\n\n\n	Language\, literacy and numeracy skills.\n	Digital literacy and ability to access online learning.\n	Access to suitable technology and internet.\n	Previous relevant training where applicable.\n	Any support or reasonable-adjustment requirements.\n\n\n\n\nPractical participation\n\n\n	Ability to participate safely in practical CPR scenarios.\n	Ability to work at floor level for adult CPR assessment.\n	Ability to perform repeated chest compressions and ventilations.\n	Any injury\, condition or circumstance affecting practical participation should be discussed with PTG before the workshop.\n\n\n\n\nMandatory CPR assessment requirement\nParticipants must perform at least two minutes of uninterrupted single-rescuer CPR on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor. Participants must also perform at least two minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface. These are mandatory assessment requirements of HLTAID009.\n\nReasonable adjustment may be available where appropriate. Reasonable adjustment cannot remove an essential competency requirement\, alter mandatory practical assessment requirements\, compromise assessment validity or create an unacceptable safety risk. \n\nStudents must provide a valid Unique Student Identifier (USI) before nationally recognised certification can be issued\, unless a lawful exemption applies. \n\n\n\nCourse Delivery\n\nHLTAID009 is offered over an enrolment period of up to three months through a blended combination of online learning\, knowledge assessment and face-to-face practical training and assessment. \n\n\n\n1\n\nOnline Learning\n\nLearning resources and theory activities\n\n\n\n2\n\nPractical Workshop\n\nTypically delivered over a half-day session\n\n\n\n3\n\nAssessment\n\nKnowledge and practical competency assessment\n\n\n\nActual workshop duration may vary according to cohort size\, learner needs and the time required for each participant to complete all mandatory practical training and assessment activities. \n\nOnline Learning\n\nRequired online learning should be completed before attending the practical workshop unless an alternative arrangement has been approved by Paradigm Training Group. Online activities may include: \n\n\n	Reading learner resources.\n	Reviewing instructional material\, presentations and videos.\n	Completing knowledge and formative activities.\n	Contact with trainers and assessors by phone\, email or other approved communication methods where assistance is required.\n\n\nFace-to-Face Practical Workshop\n\nFollowing completion of the required online component\, participants attend a face-to-face practical workshop involving trainer demonstrations\, guided CPR practice\, AED operation\, realistic emergency scenarios and practical competency assessment. \n\nWorkshop dates\, commencement times\, expected duration and delivery locations are provided during the enrolment and booking process. \n\nGroup and workplace training\nBusinesses and organisations may request customised group training for five or more participants. Training may be delivered at a Paradigm Training Group facility or at an approved client workplace where the venue provides an appropriate and safe environment for all required training and assessment activities.\n\nWorkplace scenarios may be contextualised to reflect the participants' environment or industry while maintaining all nationally prescribed requirements of HLTAID009. \n\n\n\nAssessment Requirements\n\nTo be assessed as competent in HLTAID009\, students must satisfactorily complete all required knowledge and practical assessment activities and demonstrate the performance required by the nationally recognised unit. \n\nPractical assessment includes:\n\n\n	Managing an unconscious casualty who is breathing normally\, including appropriate positioning to reduce the risk of airway compromise.\n	Managing an unconscious\, non-breathing adult.\n	Performing at least two minutes of uninterrupted single-rescuer CPR\, including five cycles of compressions and ventilations\, on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor.\n	Following the prompts of an AED trainer to deliver at least one simulated shock.\n	Demonstrating rotation between rescuers with minimal interruption to chest compressions.\n	Responding appropriately to regurgitation or vomiting during CPR.\n	Handing the casualty over to emergency services and providing an accurate verbal report.\n	Reviewing the emergency response.\n	Performing at least two minutes of uninterrupted single-rescuer CPR\, including five cycles of compressions and ventilations\, on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface.\n\n\nPractical assessment is undertaken using realistic scenarios and simulations. PTG provides the adult and infant resuscitation manikins\, AED training devices\, personal protective equipment and other resources required for assessment.\n\nStudents who do not initially demonstrate competency will receive feedback and advice about any further training\, practice or evidence required. Further assessment opportunities are managed in accordance with Paradigm Training Group's assessment and reassessment policies. \n\n\n\nParticipation and Course Resources\n\n\n\nStudents will need\n\n\n	A computer or tablet.\n	Reliable internet access.\n	A current web browser.\n	An active email address.\n	Basic digital skills.\n	Comfortable clothing suitable for kneeling and working at floor level.\n\n\n\n\nPTG provides\n\n\n	Online learner resources.\n	Adult CPR manikins.\n	Infant CPR manikins.\n	AED training devices.\n	Personal protective equipment.\n	Required scenario and assessment resources.\n\n\n\n\nNo workplace placement is required for HLTAID009. Required practical performance may be assessed in appropriately simulated emergency scenarios. \n\n\n\nCertification Issued by PTG\n\nStudents who successfully demonstrate competency in all requirements of HLTAID009 will receive a nationally recognised: \n\n\nStatement of Attainment\n\nHLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation\n\n\nA verified USI must be available before the Statement of Attainment can be issued\, unless an applicable exemption exists. \n\nStudents assessed as Not Yet Competent will be advised of any further evidence\, training or reassessment required. \n\nCPR currency\nA Statement of Attainment records successful completion of HLTAID009. The Queensland First aid in the workplace Code of Practice recommends that CPR refresher training be undertaken annually. Participants should also confirm any employer\, industry\, professional or regulatory currency requirements that apply to them.\n\n\n\nNeed Full First Aid Training?\n\nHLTAID009 focuses specifically on cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

It also includes the operation of an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB). \n\nTraining and assessment covers: \n\n\n	Selecting and operating marine VHF radio equipment.\n	Transmitting and receiving routine marine radio messages.\n	Using correct distress\, urgency and safety communication procedures.\n	Applying marine radio protocols and digital selective calling (DSC) procedures.\n	Accessing search-and-rescue radio services and communicating required information.\n	Checking\, maintaining and operating EPIRBs in accordance with manufacturer instructions and regulatory requirements.\n\n\nAustralian Waters Qualification operating area\nThe AWQ is for marine VHF radio use within the Australian territorial sea and on inland waterways. The Australian territorial sea generally extends to 12 nautical miles from the coastal baseline.\n\nImportant - the AWQ has limits\nMARC059/AWQ does not authorise HF marine radio operation and does not replace an SROCP\, LROCP\, GMDSS certificate or another radio qualification where one of those qualifications is specifically required.\n\nView MARC059 on training.gov.au View ACMA Marine Radio Qualifications \n\n\n\nAustralian Waters Qualification and Legal VHF Operation\n\nMarine radiocommunications are regulated under the Radiocommunications Act 1992 and current ACMA instruments. The current Radiocommunications (Maritime Ship Station) Class Licence 2025 recognises the Australian Waters Qualification for marine VHF operation within the Australian territorial sea. \n\n\nIf you hold MARC059 / AWQ\n\nA Statement of Attainment for the Australian Waters Qualification satisfies the Class Licence qualification requirement for operating a marine VHF station within the Australian territorial sea\, subject to the applicable licence conditions and operating requirements. \n\n\nSupervised Operation\n\nThe current Class Licence also permits a person to operate a VHF maritime ship station within the Australian territorial sea under the supervision of a person who holds an accepted qualification. \n\n\n\nThe old 2001 Class Licence is no longer current\nEarlier MARC059 material refers to the Radiocommunications (Maritime Ship Station - 27 MHz and VHF) Class Licence 2001. The current instrument is the Radiocommunications (Maritime Ship Station) Class Licence 2025\, as amended. Current legislation should be relied upon where older training-package material has not yet been updated.\n\nCurrent Maritime Ship Station Class Licence ACMA Australian Waters Qualification \n\n\n\nAWQ\, SROCP and LROCP - Which One Do You Need?\n\nThe correct marine radio qualification depends on the equipment being operated\, where it will be operated and whether a separate AMSA Certificate of Competency has a specific radio-certificate requirement. \n\n\nAWQ - MARC059\n\nFor marine VHF radio operation within the Australian territorial sea and inland waterways\, subject to the applicable operating conditions. \n\n\nSROCP\n\nAn internationally recognised VHF certificate required for some AMSA Near Coastal Certificates of Competency\, including Coxswain Grade 1 Near Coastal. \n\n\nLROCP\n\nAn internationally recognised VHF and MF/HF certificate required for certain higher-level AMSA Near Coastal Certificates of Competency\, including Master less than 24 metres and Master less than 45 metres. \n\n\n\nCheck your intended licensing outcome before enrolling.\nMARC059/AWQ should not be advertised as a substitute for an SROCP or LROCP where AMSA specifically requires one of those certificates.

The individual must also meet the applicable requirements of Marine Order 505 (Certificates of competency — national law) 2022.\n\n\n\nCoxswain Grade 3 Outcome\n\nAMSA describes Coxswain Grade 3 as a domestic Certificate of Competency for operating in Australian waters. \n\nUnder Schedule 1 of Marine Order 505\, a Coxswain Grade 3 may command and operate the engines of a vessel less than 12 metres long\, subject to specified operating limitations. \n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			General Vessel Limits\n\n			\n				The vessel is less than 12 metres long.\n				No more than six persons are carried\, including the crew and master\, unless operating as an eligible tender.\n				Passenger operations are conducted during daylight hours only.\n				Inboard propulsion power is less than 100 kW.\n				Outboard propulsion power is less than 250 kW.\n			\n			\n			\n			General Operating Areas\n\n			\n				A marina or applicable mooring area.\n				Inland or smooth waters.\n				Waters within one nautical mile of shore.\n				Applicable aquaculture lease and transit waters.\n				Waters within 250 metres of a structure fixed to the shore.\n			\n			\n		\n	\n\n\nTender Operations\n\nA tender must be capable of communicating with\, and remain in line of sight of\, its parent vessel. A person qualifying through the MAR Maritime Training Package pathway may operate an eligible tender within three nautical miles of the parent vessel. \n\nTowing People\n\nA Coxswain Grade 3 may also command and operate a vessel less than 12 metres long that is used only for towing people\, subject to the applicable propulsion\, approved operating-area and daylight-hour restrictions. \n\nThe complete duties\, functions and limitations are prescribed in Schedule 1 of Marine Order 505.\n\nView AMSA requirements   View Marine Order 505 \n\n\n\nEntry and Pre-Enrolment\n\nMARSS00048 Coxswains Grade 3 Skill Set has no formal entry requirements listed on the National Register. \n\nBefore confirming enrolment\, Paradigm Training Group (PTG) will review your training goals\, relevant maritime experience and qualifications\, language\, literacy\, numeracy and digital skills\, technology access and any support needs. PTG will then advise whether the training\, delivery arrangements and available support are suitable for you. \n\nPractical participation and support\n\nStudents must participate in practical maritime activities\, including vessel handling\, seamanship and safe vessel-operation activities. Please discuss any condition or support need that may affect safe participation with PTG before practical training begins. \n\nReasonable adjustments may be available where appropriate\, provided they do not remove competency requirements\, compromise assessment validity or safety\, or override applicable regulatory requirements. \n\n\nAMSA eligibility and certification\n\nIf you intend to operate as an AMSA Coxswain Grade 3 Near Coastal\, review AMSA's current Coxswain Grade 3 eligibility and certification requirements before enrolling. \n\nCompletion of the applicable MAR training pathway is one way to meet AMSA's training requirement for Coxswain Grade 3. You must also meet AMSA's eligibility and medical requirements and hold current HLTAID011 Provide First Aid\, or an equivalent accepted by AMSA. \n\nAMSA permits an eligible person to operate as a Coxswain Grade 3 without obtaining a physical Certificate of Competency\, provided the required evidence is carried onboard and remains current. Alternatively\, you may apply to AMSA for a physical Coxswain Grade 3 Certificate of Competency. \n\nFurther information: medical fitness and myAMSA applications. \n\n\nUnique Student Identifier (USI)\n\nYou must provide a valid USI before PTG can issue your Statement of Attainment\, unless a lawful exemption applies. \n\n\n\nCourse Delivery\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			1\n\n			Online Learning\n\n			Learner resources and theory assessment\n			\n			\n			2\n\n			Practical Workshop\n\n			Three days of face-to-face training\n			\n			\n			3\n\n			Assessment\n\n			Theory and practical competency assessment\n			\n		\n	\n\n\nStudents must complete the required online learning before attending the practical workshop unless another arrangement has been approved by Paradigm Training Group. \n\nPractical activities may include:\n\n\n	Pre-departure vessel checks.\n	Vessel handling and manoeuvring.\n	Berthing\, unberthing\, anchoring and securing a vessel.\n	Seamanship activities.\n	Weather and tide considerations.\n	Emergency procedures.\n	Maritime regulations and safe operating procedures.\n\n\nFirst aid training and assessment are included where the student does not already hold eligible credit for HLTAID011 Provide First Aid. \n\nFurther training or reassessment may be provided within the enrolment period in accordance with Paradigm Training Group policies and scheduled workshop availability. \n\n\n\nParticipation Requirements\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			Online Learning\n\n			\n				A computer or tablet.\n				A current web browser.\n				Reliable internet access.\n				An active email address.\n				Basic digital skills.\n			\n			\n			\n			Practical Workshop\n\n			\n				Suitable practical clothing.\n				Enclosed\, non-slip footwear.\n				Wet-weather clothing where appropriate.\n				Suitable sun protection.\n			\n			\n		\n	\n\n\nStudents must follow all reasonable safety instructions provided by the trainer and assessor. \n\n\n\nUnits of Competency\n\nStudents must successfully complete all four nationally recognised units. \n\n\n	\n		\n			HLTAID011\n			Provide First Aid\n		\n		\n			MARI003\n			Comply with regulations to ensure safe operation of a vessel up to 12 metres\n		\n		\n			MARK007\n			Handle a vessel up to 12 metres\n		\n		\n			MARN008\n			Apply seamanship skills aboard a vessel up to 12 metres\n		\n	\n\n\nView MARSS00048 on training.gov.au  \n\n\n\nCertification Issued by PTG\n\nStudents assessed as competent in all four units will receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the MARSS00048 Coxswains Grade 3 Skill Set. \n\nA student who completes only some units may receive a Statement of Attainment for the units successfully completed but will not have completed the complete skill set. \n\nStudents assessed as Not Yet Competent will be advised of any further evidence\, training or reassessment required. \n\nThe Statement of Attainment is not an AMSA-issued Certificate of Competency.
