A White Card, also known as a general construction induction card, is required for workers carrying out construction work. The requirement isn’t limited to construction workers. Site managers, supervisors, labourers, and tradespeople are required to hold a White Card if they access active construction sites.
The good thing is that this qualification is straightforward to obtain. You simply need to complete the Work Health & Safety (WHS) general construction induction training with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
Major Training delivers the nationally recognised unit of competency CPCWHS1001 Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry. As it should be, our White Card course complies with WHS’s regulations, providing comprehensive training and a Statement of Attainment upon successful completion.

At Major, we make it simple and efficient from the get-go, so learners are equipped with the knowledge and skills required to operate on construction worksites. Our program covers basic construction concepts, relevant government bodies, and personal protective equipment (PPE)—everything you need to know to get certified.

Shoutout to Mal also for putting the crane hook where we needed it 😁🤙
Thanks again guys!
My educator, Cathy Fendley, was absolutely fabulous. We had agreed-upon sessions once a week (and sometimes twice a week when needed), and she was always supportive, organised, and encouraging. Cathy helped me tremendously, especially with my case studies, making sure I fully understood the requirements and felt confident in my work.
She also went above and beyond by helping me find a placement closer to my location, which made a big difference for me. During my placement, she visited and gave me such a great morale boost — her support truly meant a lot.
I’m very grateful to have had Cathy as my teacher. She is a wonderful educator and a genuinely caring person. Highly recommend Major Training Group!
I also want to mention Thane. Even though he wasn’t my trainer, he was very friendly and always willing to help.
Great team, professional training, and a very welcoming environment. Highly recommended definitely more than 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They also create a great environment with things like regular BBQs, which makes it a welcoming and supportive place to study. It’s clear they put real effort into looking after their students and building a strong community.
If you’re considering training here, you won’t regret it.
