What is a Skid Steer Ticket?

Skid Steer Loaders are often known as ‘bobcats’, which is a popular brand of SSL.

In Australia,the best and easiest way to do this is to obtain your Statement of Attainment in RIIMPO318F – Conduct civil construction skid steer loader operations. This must be completed through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) like Kallibr Training.
A Statement of Attainment is a nationally recognised qualification that will be awarded to you after you successfully complete your training course.
