The assessment is broken down into:

  • How do I know if the White Card course I’m enrolled in is accredited?

    There are four things to look for to know if your course is accredited:

    1. Training providers issue a CPCWHS1001 - Prepare to work safely in the construction industry “Statement of Attainment”. If they issue a “certificate of completion” or a “Statement of Approval” or something else, it is probably NOT the accredited White Card course.

    2. The Nationally Recognised Training (NRT) logo is displayed

    3. You are issued a state government White Card on successful completion of course CPCWHS1001 - Prepare to work safely in the construction industry. (excluding Tasmania)

    4. Whether the course is offered by an accredited Registered Training Organisation (RTO). RTOs are issued with a number when they are accredited, and they generally display this number on their website. Inscope Training’s is RTO 40926
