FAQ

What is a White Card and Why do I need one?

For those who work in construction, a White Card is essential. A White Card certifies that you have completed a General Construction Induction course and are competent in the basic skills and awareness you need to keep yourself and others safe on a worksite.

Completion of this course is mandatory for anyone who wants to work in the construction industry or have unsupervised access to a construction site.

What do I expect from the course

After you have successfully completed your training, TME applies on your behalf to the State Regulator for them to issue you a wallet-sized “white card” that certifies you have completed the course. Employers and site supervisors will want to see this card to satisfy themselves that you know what you need to know to access the site – and that it has been issued by a Worksafe approved training organisation. The card can take up to 6 weeks to be issued. Until that time, the Statement of Attainment you are provided with serves as that evidence, and employers are obliged to recognise it.

What happens after I submit my assessment tasks?

Your trainer or assessor will examine your work and decide whether it meets the criteria. If so the work will be marked ‘competent’ and a Statement of Attainment issued.
TME will then advise Worksafe through our secure portal that you have met the requirements of the unit of competency.
Reassessment procedure If you are unable to demonstrate the required level of knowledge and skills through this assessment task on the first attempt your Trainer may choose to verbally assess you to gather further evidence of your knowledge of specific questions. In this situation your they will make note of this on your assessment task including notes on what answers you provided. Resources Provided: Learning resources will be provided including; training manuals, PowerPoint presentations, You-tube clips etc.

What do I need to prepare before the course

Prior to training starting, you will be asked to complete a short assessment, so the trainer understands your preferred learning style and is aware of your grasp of English. This is so he or she can assist you to get the most out of the course. It may also be necessary to complete enrolment documentation if this has not been done prior. Classes are usually fairly small (10 people maximum) so everyone has an opportunity to participate and ask all the questions they need. There will be a slide presentation, and you will be provided with a book to help you understand the content of the course.
