QLD Cash-in-Transit

The QLD Cash-in-Transit course develops the practical skills and knowledge required to support the secure movement, loading and unloading of valuables in a variety of operational environments. Designed for security professionals progressing into cash-handling transport roles, the course focuses on equipment checks, procedural compliance, safety practices and coordinated team operations.

Delivered through a blended model — online study followed by one day of face-to-face training — students gain hands-on experience applying CIT procedures in controlled scenarios that reflect industry expectations and real-world operational risks.

Asset College supports informed career planning through Free Career Information Sessions and facilitates industry networking via Employer Connections Events held across Queensland.

Upon successful completion, students receive a Statement of Attainment for the CPPSS00061 Cash-in-Transit Skill Set, including:

- CPPSEC3118 – Inspect and test cash-in-transit security equipment & rectify faults

- CPPSEC3119 – Implement cash-in-transit security procedures

- CPPSEC3120 – Load and unload cash-in-transit in secured and unsecured environments

Typical CIT job opportunities graduates commonly pursue:

- Valuables Escort / Secure Asset Transport Officer

- Unarmed CIT operative within retail, banking or commercial service routes

These units may also provide direct credit towards CPP31318 Certificate III in Security Operations.

Prior Qualification — Mandatory: Students must hold the CPP20218 Certificate II in Security Operations before enrolling. This qualification forms part of the training requirements for a QLD Class 1 Security Providers Licence — the Cash-in-Transit course alone does not meet the full licensing requirement.

LLND Review: All students must complete a Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital (LLND) review prior to enrolment.

Age & Identification: Participants should be at least 18 years old, hold or be eligible to hold a QLD security licence, and provide valid photo identification.

International Students: This course is not available to international students on a Student Visa (subclass 500).

To perform cash-in-transit duties in Queensland, individuals must hold the Security Officer (Cash-in-Transit) function on a Class 1 Security Providers Licence issued by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT).

Key Licensing Steps:

1. Prepare required identification and supporting documents

3. Submit licence application and pay applicable fees to OFT

4. Undergo mandatory probity and criminal history checks

5. Attend an approved Police Station to have fingerprints taken

If you already hold a QLD Class 1 Security Providers Licence, you can apply to add the Cash-in-Transit function — no new licence application required.
