DELIVERY METHOD

YOUR PATHWAY TO A WHITE CARD (CONSTRUCTION INDUCTION TRAINING)

If you’re starting work in construction, your White Card is your entry requirement. In Victoria, it’s issued after completing the nationally recognised unit CPCWHS1001 – Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry with an approved provider.

Because of WorkSafe Victoria requirements, construction induction training must be completed in person (face-to-face)online White Card courses aren’t accepted in Victoria, and training not delivered by an approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO) may not result in a White Card being issued.

Intelligent Training Solutions (ITS) delivers a professional, supportive face-to-face classroom course that meets Victorian expectations and helps you feel confident before you step onto site. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of construction safety basics, your responsibilities, common hazards, and safe work practices expected across the industry.

Construction White Card Course

To help you start work quickly, your Statement of Attainment will be issued within 24 hours of successful course completion, giving you evidence of competence while your card is processed. Your WorkSafe-issued plastic White Card is then mailed out and typically arrives within a few weeks (timeframes can vary).
