If you’ve been seeking employment in the construction industry in Australia, you have to complete an induction training to obtain a White Card. This mandatory certification serves multiple functions, primarily centred around safety and legal compliance. It demonstrates that the worker has undergone the necessary training, as mandated by local laws. Having a White Card can significantly boost your employability in the construction sector.

AIMS Institute of Training and Technology offers a fully accredited White Card Course for international students. As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), we are committed to providing high-quality education that meets national standards. Our comprehensive online course gives you the knowledge and qualifications you need to work safely in construction across Australia. Moreover, we offer same-day certificate issuance for your convenience, without unnecessary delays.

 

Explore Course Information

White Card training helps participants get fundamental knowledge about construction safety, including hazard identification and risk management. Mastering these basics helps minimise the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site. When workers adhere to safety practices, they ensure a secure working environment for themselves and those around them.

Before enrolling in this course, it’s essential to understand what the training involves, so you enjoy its maximum benefits. Our 6-hour White Card programme is thoughtfully designed to prepare participants for real-world construction settings. Below are some of the essential topics our trainers cover:

  • Introduction to Construction Work: This part of the course introduces the construction industry, highlighting the importance of safety. You’ll learn about different roles on the site and what is expected from you as a worker.
  • Work Health and Safety (WHS) Legislation: In this section, we’ll help participants understand the local laws, their rights, and responsibilities.
  • Identifying Hazards and Risk Management: One of the key responsibilities of a construction worker is to spot potential dangers on site. Recognising these hazards is the first step in keeping everyone safe, whether it’s loose tools or unsafe equipment. Through our course, you’ll become proficient in identifying dangers early and evaluating the risks.
  • Workplace Health and Safety Communication and Reporting: Good communication skills can save lives on a construction site. Under this topic, participants will learn how to report safety issues and communicate effectively with their team.
  • Emergency Response Procedures: Accidents might happen, so knowing what to do in an emergency is vital. Handling crises well requires critical thinking, and that’s exactly what we cover in this section of our White Card online course.
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): The right safety gear is a worker’s first line of defence. We explain the proper use and maintenance of PPE like helmets, gloves, and safety boots.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENROLLING IN ONLINE WHITE CARD TRAINING?

 NOTE: Students must complete LLN test before attending Face-to-Face or MS Team live session. Entry to the course may be refused if a student cannot demonstrate sufficient LLN skills and you will not be entitled to a refund of any course fees paid in advance.

  • Confirmation of Attendance: Attendance will be confirmed after sighting the valid Photo ID. You will not be entitled to a refund if you do not attend the training session. 
  • Unique Student Identifier (USI): If you are an international student planning to study in Australia but are not in the country yet, contact your education or training provider and let them know you will create a USI when you arrive. You are not required to provide a USI as a condition of enrolment as you cannot create a USI until you have entered Australia.

International students need their non-Australian passport and their Australian visa to create a USI once they are in Australia.

A USI must not be a mandatory requirement at enrolment for international students.
