In Victoria, the only approved way a Victorian RTO can teach a White Card Course is by conducting a face to face course.  Interstate RTO’s offer online White Card Courses and WorkSafe Victoria is obliged to recognise the card obtained in this manner, as they are national cards. However, there are construction sites in Victoria who will not allow you to work on their site if you have done an online interstate White Card course and you live in Victoria.
Our White Card Melbourne courses are conducted at our Ferntree Gully and Sunshine West Training Centres.
On successful completion of this White Card training course, you will be issued with a Certificate of Completion. This will allow you to work in the construction industry while WorkSafe is processing your White Card. You will also receive a State of Attainment for the unit of competency, CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry.  Start Training will apply for your White Card to WorkSafe on your behalf and this will be sent to you by mail.
