Why Do This Course

Own The Safety Job At Work

Good to Know

Common Questions

How long does the course take?

Around 12 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline. You can come back to the material after you finish.

What does it cost each week?

The weekly plan is $15 a week, interest-free with no credit check. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay-in-four with Afterpay and upfront.

Can I study this around work?

Yes. It is fully online with no classroom, and you start anytime with instant access. The lessons are short videos you watch when it suits you.

How are assessments done?

Short answer and multiple choice, built to help you understand rather than test you against the clock. You can retake them as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.

What do I get when I finish?

A Course Completion Acknowledgement and a short form credential for Workplace Health and Safety (WHS), plus CPD points and a Credly digital badge you can share.

Does this give me a licence or card?

You finish with the skills to spot hazards, assess risks, set up controls and keep WHS records. The course is for professional development, so it does not give you a licence or card. Check with your state department about any checks or permissions needed for work in the industry, such as a Blue Card. What you take away is the know-how, the CPD points and your credential.

Is this course accredited?

It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and plenty of workplace safety duties are learned this way.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
