Cert IV WHS Training Courses

A certificate IV in Workplace Health and Safety training (also known as cert 4 WHS or OHS) is the recommended minimum requirement for workplace safety representatives.

Although the course length and scope is not as comprehensive as a Diploma course, which would be more suitable for a role as a WH&S Compliance Manager, the Cert IV is suitable as a strong foundation and introduction into the world of WH&S compliance management, legalities and legislations, as well as risk minimisation.

This course is also well-suited to those who act in various supporting roles in the field of Health and Safety and also Risk Management in the Workplace.
