White Card

The unit of competency CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry is also known as the “White Card” and is designed for those seeking work or preparing to work in the construction industry.

It is a compulsory requirement from SafeWork NSW that you must have a White Card before commencing work on a construction site. It is also nationally accredited, and can be transferred inter-state.

This course is also appropriate for those wishing to obtain their Owner Builder permit, the white card component can be completed with us, and your owner builder component elsewhere.

This course is also appropriate for apprenticeships, trainees that are going in to a variety of trades (like electricians, carpenters, plumbers, engineers, project managers etc.) wanting to gain access to construction sites.

This course runs for a minimum of 6 hours (excluding breaks). After successfully completing the course you will obtain a Nationally recognised Statement of Attainment and an interim certificate approved by SafeWork NSW, valid to commence work the very next day. License fee payable on the day.

For our program, you are not required to buy your own PPE for assessment purposes, as you do for online courses.

We are approved by SafeWork NSW and have been offering the White Card course for the last 16 years. We can assure you that you will have a pleasant learning experience.

You will be able to commence work on a construction site the next day upon completion of the course. We will provide you with an interim certificate that will be valid for 60 days and you will receive the physical card via mail from SafeWork NSW within 60 days.
