Calling all construction workers…! Complete your compulsory White Card training today, so that you can safely undertake construction activities on a worksite.

The National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work requires that all construction workers undertaking activities on Australian worksites complete White Card training prior to undertaking construction work, in order to work safely and prevent injury or harm to self and others.

This one-day short course covers a broad range of topics including WHS, emergency procedures, risk management and construction hazards, and will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to adhere to workplace health and safety obligations, meet legislative requirements, and perform emergency procedures including evacuations and first aid response requirements.

Our experienced teaching team will also guide you in understanding basic risk control measures, and how to identify and report common building and construction hazards, as well as learning about WHS hierarchy of controls and how to correctly select and fit Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used for construction work.

On successful completion of this short course, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for the units completed, and you will also be eligible to lodge an application for a White Card through Service Tasmania.

Note– a White Card does not have an expiration date and does not require a refresher course.

Recognition of prior learning and skills

It makes sense that you should be recognised for the things you already know how to do.

TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience – which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!

More information on the recognition process is available on our recognition of prior learning and skills page.

Assessment methods

Assessments are designed to help you demonstrate the skills and knowledge you learn in your course and are an essential part of your training. Assessments allow us to confirm that you can perform tasks to the standard required in the workplace, and that you can meet all of the requirements of your course.

While studying at TasTAFE, you may be assessed in a number of different ways. Some common assessment methods include:

completing workplace documents
observations on the job and/or in a simulated assessment environment
quizzes/multiple choice tests
research projects
tests – written or practical
verbal questioning
work samples
written assignments or short answers.

What will I need to bring?

Make sure you are prepared for each class and bring standard items like pens, paper/notebook, USB etc.

Depending on your course, you might need access to a computer with Microsoft Software Suite and internet and a current email address. TasTAFE has computer labs at regional campuses which are open for students to access during normal business hours.

You may also need to bring specific equipment, tools or personal protective equipment.
