FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about the Melbourne White Card course, eligibility, what to wear, replacements and more.

How do I get a white card in Melbourne?

To acquire an Australian White Card, you need to enrol in and successfully complete a CPCWHS1001 Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry course. Our training sessions are designed to teach vital safety practices and provide the knowledge needed for a construction career. Reach out to us to join one of our upcoming white card courses & begin your journey towards obtaining your White Card Melbourne qualification!

Our Melbourne White Card course spans 6 hours and includes preparatory reading, a quiz, and in-person training and assessment. This approach integrates written, oral, and practical elements to thoroughly cover construction safety knowledge.

Our White Card course is exclusively offered in-person, not online, to ensure a thorough and practical training experience. Led by seasoned instructors, our face-to-face courses provide hands-on learning, equipping participants with real-world skills essential for the construction industry.

In short, anyone who wants to work on a construction site in Australia needs to complete White Card training. This qualification then opens a variety of roles in the construction industry, such as
  • Construction Worker
  • Laborer
  • Site Operations Specialist
  • Tradesperson (like Electricians, Plumbers, Carpenters)
  • Site Manager
  • Foreman
  • Heavy Machinery
  • Operator
The difference between the two course codes is that CPCWHS1001 superseded CPCCWHS1001 in 2022. Both refer to “Prepare to work safely in the construction industry”, but CPCWHS1001 is the current course code.
What should you wear to a white card course?
For the white card course, it’s advised to wear specific attire for safety, including closed shoes, long pants, a long sleeve shirt, high-visibility clothing, and a hard hat (which might be provided for practical demonstrations). These items form part of the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) for general construction induction training, playing a crucial role in ensuring safety within the construction industry.
Skills Training College’s White Card course is priced at $125, encompassing extensive training by skilled instructors, all necessary course materials, and the issuance of your nationally recognised White Card after successful completion. It’s an investment in your future within the construction industry, offering both affordability and quality in one program.
In Australia, the white card, or general construction induction card, is essential for anyone aspiring to work in construction. It’s issued after completing a construction induction training from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). This card certifies that the holder is trained in vital safety practices necessary for the construction industry. Nationally recognised, it’s legally required for individuals on construction sites across Australia.
Skills Training College is a registered training organisation and its CPCWHS1001 – Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry course is nationally accredited and recognised Australia-wide. This card certifies that the holder is trained in vital safety practices necessary for the construction industry.
If your white card is lost or damaged you can request a replacement card by contacting us. Depending on where you are located, the following applies:
  • South Australia – Contact us for a replacement. A $50 fee applies.
  • Tasmania – You must apply through the Tasmanian Government within 60 days of course completion. Visit this link for details.
  • Northern Territory – You must apply directly with the NT Government within 60 days of course completion. Visit this link for more information.
  • Perth – Contact us for a replacement. A $50 fee applies (plus $15 for registered post).
If you are located in Tasmania or the Northern Territory and do not apply for your replacement White Card from your state government within 60 days of course completion, you will require a letter from Skills Training College stating that you have completed the course to apply. *Please Note: We will issue a letter for students only up to 4 months after the completion of the white card course. If over 4 months have lapsed, you will be required to attend the White Card Course again at full price.
