MSMSS00018 – Operate a high pressure water jetting system skill set – REFRESHER training
- In-person
- On-site
Course Overview
The MSMSS00018 – Operate a high pressure water jetting system (Refresher) course is designed for current or recently expired water jetting operators who need to renew their certification every two years, as recommended by industry standards and the AS/NZS 4233.1:2013 guidelines.
This refresher course ensures that Class B jetting operators maintain the practical competency and safety knowledge required to perform high pressure water jetting tasks unsupervised and to continue supervising assistant jetters in high-risk environments.
This refresher is suitable for:
-
- Individuals who have previously completed MSMSS00018 (or hold MSMWJ304).
- Operators whose certification is still current or recently expired.
- Jetting operators required to revalidate for shutdowns, tenders, or site compliance.
- Workers continuing in roles that require unsupervised operation and supervision of assistants.
Training is delivered face-to-face at our Belmont facility, with an emphasis on current procedures, WHS updates, and practical re-assessment to confirm your ongoing capability as a jetting operator.

Training Outcome
Upon successful completion of the refresher training, participants will achieve a Nationally Recognised Statement of Attainment issued by KI Training and Assessing delivered as a skillset under MSMSS00018 – Operate a high pressure water jetting system.
The Statement will include:
MSMPER200 – Work in accordance with an issued permit
MSMWHS110 – Follow emergency response procedures
MSMWHS200 – Work safely
MSMWJ304 – Operate a high pressure water jetting system
Participants will receive:
- A hard copy of the Statement of Attainment on the day of completion when completed at our Belmont training facility.
- A medical alert wallet card.
This course is recognised across Australia for Class B water jetting operator roles in construction, mining, oil and gas, and industrial services.
Once certified, a water jetting operator can:
Perform Class B high pressure jetting work unsupervised.
Supervise assistant water jetters who hold:
- MSMSS00017 – Use high pressure water jetting equipment, or
- MSMWJ202 or MSMWJ201 – Use high pressure water jetting equipment
Operators are responsible for ensuring safe system setup, monitoring pressures, leading the workgroup, and implementing safety protocols in line with AS/NZS 4233.1:2013.
