Course Outcomes
Upon completion you will receive a Nationally Recognised Statement of Attainment in CPCWHS1001 - Prepare to work safely in the construction industry
OVERVIEW
The nationally recognised unit of competency CPCWHS1001 Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry is a basic requirement to work safely in construction sites. Since Work Health & Safety (WHS) General Construction Induction training is mandatory before anyone can carry out construction work, we offer a comprehensive White Card course to help you get certified. The course can be completed in just one day, so you can receive your White Card at the end of the program.
For Sunshine Coast-based individuals who are interested in starting construction work, completing a White Card training is the first step to accomplishing your goal. At Major, we make the process easy from start to finish, ensuring learners quickly absorb the knowledge and skills needed to safely navigate a construction worksite. Some of the things you’ll learn are relevant construction fundamentals, regulatory authorities, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Course Details
The course combines theory with practical activities to help you apply safe work practices in real construction environments. Essential skills you’ll develop through this training include identifying common workplace hazards, following WHS procedures, and meeting the construction industry’s induction requirements.
Not only is a White Card a requirement for working on construction sites, but it also gives you the confidence to step onto a worksite knowing you understand workplace safety. The best part is that earning this qualification doesn’t require days or weeks of training. In just around five hours, you’ll complete the course and leave with your White Card, ready to take the next step in your construction career.

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.
