In Australia, a white 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 this 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.
Yes, under certain circumstances. A white card does not automatically expire after a period of time. Once you’ve earned your white card, it remains valid indefinitely. However, if you cease working in the construction industry for a period of at least two years, your competencies will be considered expired, and you will need to take a refresher training course and earn a new white card in order to be able to resume construction industry work.
The process for replacing a white card in South Australia simply involves reaching out to the RTO with which you completed your white card training and requesting a replacement. The process may vary slightly depending on the organisation you complete your training with, and a replacement fee may be required.
No, most students do not struggle when taking their white card course. The study materials are thorough and comprehensive, but are generally easy to understand especially with the assistance of your expert trainer. So long as you put the work in, obtaining a white card is a relatively easy and straightforward process.
