MSMSS00017
High pressure water jetting training in Perth for workers required to safely set up, operate, and shut down water jetting equipment in industrial and civil applications under supervision.
MSMSS00017 is the entry level of the water jetting training pathway — the foundation before progressing to the independent-operator skill set, MSMSS00018 Operate a high pressure water jetting system. It gives Learners the practical skills and knowledge to safely use high pressure water jetting equipment while working under supervision, across industrial, civil and maintenance environments — including planning and preparing for jetting tasks, assembling and checking equipment, using guns and lances under direction, and completing basic shutdown, communication and documentation requirements.
The core unit in this skill set, MSMWJ202 Use high pressure water jetting equipment, represents the assistant-operator level of high pressure water jetting competency — the training package describes this skill set as meeting “minimum industry requirements for an assistant operator undertaking high pressure water jetting” under supervision. This is the key difference from MSMWJ304 (the core unit of MSMSS00018), which covers independent operation without supervision. This skill set applies to Class A and Class B high pressure water jetting systems, for tasks such as pipe and heat exchanger cleaning, surface preparation and vessel interior cleaning, carried out under direction.
Training is delivered in compliance with AS/NZS 4233.1:2013 High Pressure Water Jetting Systems — Safe Operation and Maintenance and the Safe Work Australia Guide for Managing Risks from High Pressure Water Jetting, alongside the workplace safety, permit and emergency response competencies covered by the skill set’s other three units — MSMWHS200 Work safely, MSMPER200 Work in accordance with an issued permit, and MSMWHS110 Follow emergency response procedures.
Training is delivered by experienced industry trainers at Paratus’s Bayswater facility or on-site across Western Australia.

We can often schedule sessions around individual and company requests. Tell us when suits and we'll get back to you within one business day.
Participants who successfully complete all training and assessment requirements will be issued a Statement of Attainment by Paratus Training (RTO 45274), for the skill set:
MSMSS00017 – Use High Pressure Water Jetting Equipment
This unit is the mandatory prerequisite for the unit MSMWJ304 – Operate a High Pressure Water Jetting System and skill set MSMSS00018 – Operate a High Pressure Water Jetting System. If you are looking to progress to independent operation, visit our MSMWJ304 course page to find out more.
This unit is nationally recognised. Full details, including the current version and any updates, are available on the national training register at training.gov.au.
There are no formal prerequisite units required for this course.
All participants must:
Please let us know before enrolment if you have any medical conditions, injuries, or physical limitations that may affect your ability to take part in practical training.
If you work in WA’s building and construction industry, this course may be eligible for subsidised training support through the Construction Training Fund (CTF). Eligibility depends on the course and your employer’s CTF registration — ask us at enrolment to check.
This course is nationally recognised training, delivered under our registration as RTO #45274. On completion, you’ll receive a Statement of Attainment recognised by employers and regulators across Australia, and verifiable through your USI account.
If your role requires you to work as part of a high pressure water jetting team and you don’t yet hold formal training for this work, this course gives you the skills and knowledge to operate safely under supervision and meet industry requirements. It is also the required first step toward progressing to independent operator level.
AS/NZS 4233.1:2013 High Pressure Water Jetting Systems — Safe Operation and Maintenance requires that verification of competency or refresher training be carried out and documented at intervals not exceeding two years. If your two years are approaching or have passed, this course gets you back up to date with current standards and procedures.
If your business operates high pressure water jetting equipment and needs team members trained to the supervised use level, we can come to your site. On-site delivery is available across Western Australia and can be conducted using your own equipment in your own work environment. Contact us to discuss group bookings and scheduling options.

Most Learners enrol online through our website. You’ll select your course and preferred date, provide your contact details, supply or create a USI, and pay the course fee. Your enrolment is confirmed once payment is received, and you’ll get a booking confirmation with everything you need for the day.
If you’d prefer to enrol by phone or email, contact us directly.
At minimum, bring:
The full list for your specific course is on the course page and in your booking confirmation. If you’re unsure, call us before the day.
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled start time. We use that time to check IDs, confirm USIs, and get everyone settled before training begins.
If you’re running late, call us before 7:30am so we know you’re on your way.
If you arrive after training has started without having contacted us, you may be refused entry and the full course fee will still apply.
A standard training day runs from approximately 7:30am to 4:00pm. You’ll have breaks for morning tea and lunch.
Our courses are structured to keep classroom time to a minimum. Theory is covered as efficiently as possible so the majority of your day is spent on practical, hands-on training with real equipment. That’s where competency is built, and it’s where we focus.
Tea, coffee, and water are provided at our Bayswater facility. There’s a kitchen area with a microwave, and your trainer will point out nearby food options if you want to grab lunch off-site. A vending machine for snacks and drinks, as well as a fully automated coffee vending machine is also available on site.
Being assessed as Not Yet Competent means you need more practice before you can demonstrate the skill to standard. It is not the end of the road.
If you believe your result was made in error, you have the right to appeal, please see our complaints and appeals policy.
You are not alone, and it is not a barrier to completing your training.
Paratus Training works with a wide range of learners, including those with dyslexia, neurodiverse learners, people who left school early, those for whom English is a second language, and those who have never felt comfortable in a classroom or exam setting. Our trainers are experienced, patient, and adapt their approach to suit different learning styles.
If you have a support need, we encourage you to let us know before your training begins. We can discuss reasonable adjustments and put the right support in place so you have a fair opportunity to participate and demonstrate your skills.
What kind of support is available?
Support varies depending on individual needs but may include additional time, or access to supplementary resources. Our team will work with you to find a practical solution.
Important: If you’re completing a High Risk Work Licence unit, WorkSafe WA requires the written knowledge assessment to be completed in English, without an interpreter, and without assistance. This is not something we can adjust. If your written English is not at that level, the HRWL pathway may not be appropriate for you at this time, please call us to discuss your options.
Not sure if you need support, or just want some reassurance before you book?
Get in touch with our team at admin@paratus.edu.au before your training. There are no silly questions, and a conversation costs nothing.
Once training has started, no refund is available. This applies regardless of the reason, including if you are assessed as Not Yet Competent.
If Paratus cancels or reschedules a course, due to trainer availability, equipment, or any other reason, you will receive a full refund, or the option to transfer to another available date. We do not cover travel, accommodation, or lost wages in the event of a cancellation or reschedule.
If something genuinely outside your control prevents you from attending, please contact us directly. Our CEO or Training Manager may apply discretion in extenuating circumstances.
A USI (Unique Student Identifier) is a reference number that creates a permanent online record of your nationally recognised training and qualifications. It is a federal government requirement, and anyone undertaking nationally recognised training in Australia must have a USI before a Statement of Attainment or qualification can be issued.
Your USI stays with you for life, giving you access to your training records in one place regardless of where or when you completed your training.
How do I get one?
Creating a USI is free and takes only a few minutes. You will need a form of identity document to verify your details. You can create your USI directly through the official USI website: https://www.usi.gov.au/students/create-your-usi
What do I need to do before my training?
You must provide Paratus Training with your USI prior to completing your training. Without a valid USI, we are unable to issue your Statement of Attainment.
A VET (Vocational Education and Training) transcript is an official record of all nationally recognised training you have completed in Australia. It is linked to your USI and maintained by the Australian government.
Some units of competency have prerequisite requirements, meaning you must hold a specific unit before you can enrol. Your VET transcript is the most reliable way to confirm and demonstrate that you hold the required prerequisites.
How do I access my VET transcript?
You can view and download your VET transcript for free through the USI website. You will need a USI to access it.
Visit: https://www.usi.gov.au/usi-vet-transcripts/students-and-their-vet-transcripts
What if a unit is missing from my transcript?
If you believe you hold a prerequisite unit but it does not appear on your transcript, contact the training organisation that issued it. They may need to submit or correct your records with the relevant authority.
Paratus Training cannot verify or accept prerequisites that are not evidenced by appropriate documentation.
A Statement of Attainment is the nationally recognised certificate issued when you successfully complete a unit of competency. It confirms you have been assessed as Competent against the national standard.
When you’ll receive yours depends on where your training was delivered:
In all cases, we issue Statements of Attainment within 30 days of you meeting all course requirements, provided your fees are paid in full and a verified USI is on file.
Your Statement of Attainment is sent as a PDF to the email address you provided at enrolment. Each certificate carries a digital signature, a unique certificate number, and a QR code that employers can use to verify authenticity.
On the day of your assessment, your assessor will issue a Notice of Assessment (NoA) if you are found Competent. This document triggers your licence application with WorkSafe WA, but it has a 60-day validity window. If you don’t lodge within 60 days, the NoA expires and you would need to complete the course again.
You have two options for lodging:
Lodge directly with WorkSafe WA
No additional cost from us. To apply in person at a WorkSafe WA office, you’ll need:
Full details and online application options are available at www.wa.gov.au/government/multi-step-guides/high-risk-work-licensing/apply-new-high-risk-work-licence
We lodge on your behalf
For a flat fee of $120 (subject to change), which includes the WorkSafe licence fee itself, our team will manage the submission for you and ensure it’s lodged on time. Speak to us at the time of your training to arrange this.
Don’t leave this sitting. Sixty days moves quickly, and the cost of missing the window is having to retrain from scratch.
Yes. Paratus complies with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
We are required by law to collect and report certain student information to government bodies including ASQA, NCVER, and the USI Registrar. This is a condition of delivering nationally recognised training and is not optional. Your data is not sold or shared with third parties for any other purpose.
You can request access to your own records at any time — bring photo ID. For the full detail on how your information is handled, visit www.oaic.gov.au .
Complaints
You can raise a concern about anything affecting you as a learner: course quality, staff conduct, fees, facilities, privacy, or discrimination. Raise it in person, by phone, or by email to admin@paratus.edu.au . Your enrolment continues throughout the process and you will not be disadvantaged for raising a concern.
Most issues are resolved informally. If not, lodge a formal written complaint and we’ll acknowledge it within 2 business days. An independent investigator will review the matter, both parties have the opportunity to present their position, and we aim to resolve as quickly as possible.
Appeals
If you disagree with a decision we’ve made — an assessment result, a credit transfer refusal, a disciplinary outcome — you can appeal. Grounds include procedural error, new evidence, incorrect application of policy, or bias. Lodge your appeal in writing to the CEO, stating the decision, your grounds, and your requested outcome. We acknowledge within 5 business days and aim to resolve as soon as possible.
If you remain unsatisfied after our internal process, you can request an independent external review or escalate to the relevant regulator. For training quality matters, contact ASQA on 1300 701 801 or www.asqa.gov.au/complaints . For HRWL-related matters, contact WorkSafe WA on 1300 307 877.
