• Assessments marked on the day
• Statement of Attainment issued same day on successful completion

Everything is covered in the $119

• CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry
• Statement of Attainment plus your WorkSafe Statement of Training, both issued the same day
• Construction Induction (White) Card mailed to you by SafeWork NSW, usually within 2 to 4 weeks
• All PPE provided on the day, including hard hat, high visibility vest, safety goggles and earmuffs
• No pre-learning and no materials to buy

You are assessed through practical tasks, written and oral questions, document review and role plays, all completed and marked in class on the day.

Your White Card does not expire

Once issued, your Construction Induction Card has no expiry date and is nationally recognised, so it stays valid for construction work anywhere in Australia.

There is one important exception. If you leave the construction industry for more than 2 consecutive years, you will need to complete the course again before returning to site work.

Before you attend

• 100 points of ID showing a photo, your full name, date of birth, signature and current residential address
• A USI (Unique Student Identifier), which is free to create at usi.gov.au
• Good spoken and written English to complete the assessments, as interpreters are not permitted
• Comfortable clothing and enclosed shoes, plus a pen for notes

A common 100 point combination is a passport (70) plus a bank statement (25) plus a Medicare card (25). Another is an Australian driver licence (40) plus a bank card (25) plus a phone account (25) plus a bank statement (25). Documents must be original and Australian issued, with the exception of passports. Non Australian licences are only accepted if you have been in the country less than 6 weeks. If you have been in Australia under 6 weeks you are exempt from the 100 point rule, so bring your passport, one other form of ID and proof of your arrival date.
