About the High Risk Work Licence — Non-Slewing Mobile Crane CN Exam
The CN High Risk Work Licence authorises operation of a non-slewing mobile crane with a Rated Capacity (RC) exceeding three tonnes. Assessment is based on TLILIC0040 Licence to operate a non-slewing mobile crane (greater than 3 tonnes capacity). A non-slewing mobile crane incorporates a boom or jib that cannot be slewed and includes articulated mobile cranes (commonly Franna-type pick-and-carry cranes) and locomotive cranes, but excludes vehicle tow trucks. Competence in the unit does not itself issue the HRWL, and does not authorise driving an articulated mobile crane on a public road without a valid heavy vehicle licence. The assessment covers planning lifts, ground conditions, powerline clearances, pre-start checks, load-chart interpretation with articulation and side-slope deration, net capacity calculations (gross rated capacity minus hook-block and rigging deductions), pick-and-carry travel, dogger communication, and shutdown/pack-up.
Assessment
Closed-book National Assessment Instrument (NAI) theory and calculation assessment administered by an accredited assessor at an RTO, plus a practical non-slewing mobile crane operation assessment covering pick-and-carry, articulation, and shutdown.
Time Limit
Closed-book NAI theory and calculation papers plus practical assessment (session timing set by the accredited assessor)
Passing Score
Competent — calculations and practical require 100% accuracy; critical safety theory items must be answered correctly
Exam Fee
RTO courses commonly advertise about $1,300–$2,350 AUD for training and assessment (e.g. ~$1,320–$2,350 depending on provider and state), plus a separate state/territory HRWL application fee typically around $75–$115 AUD (State and Territory Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulators (e.g., SafeWork NSW, WorkSafe Victoria, WorkSafe Queensland, SafeWork SA, WorkSafe WA) using the national unit TLILIC0040)

Frequently Asked Questions
What unit of competency applies to the CN non-slewing mobile crane licence?
The current national unit is TLILIC0040 Licence to operate a non-slewing mobile crane (greater than 3 tonnes capacity). Competence in the unit supports the High Risk Work Licence pathway; the HRWL itself is issued by the state or territory WHS regulator after a Notice of Satisfactory Assessment.
What plant does a CN licence cover?
CN covers non-slewing mobile cranes with rated capacity exceeding 3 tonnes — mobile cranes with a boom or jib that cannot be slewed. This includes articulated mobile (pick-and-carry / Franna-type) cranes and locomotive cranes. Vehicle tow trucks are excluded. SafeWork NSW also notes certain non-slewing telehandlers over 3 t fitted with boom/jib and hoist rope or hook block.
Does TLILIC0040 competence alone let me drive a Franna on a public road?
No. training.gov.au / unit delivery guidance states competence in TLILIC0040 does not allow driving an articulated mobile crane on a main or public road. A valid heavy vehicle licence issued by a transport regulator is required for public-road travel.
What happens if I fail the calculation component of the NAI?
NAI crane calculations require 100% accuracy. Failing any calculation item results in Not Yet Competent for that component and requires reassessment per the assessor's and regulator's rules.
