The Best Construction Training Providers in Western Australia

Figuring out which compliance tickets you need depends on where you want to work and what kind of jobs you’re chasing. 

Whether you’re aiming for FIFO jobs on remote mine sites or onsite construction roles in metro areas, having the right training in your toolbox is your entry point.

For general construction work anywhere in Australia, the White Card is the bare minimum — no site manager will let you on site without a valid White Card. 

If you suspect that you’ll be working above 2 metres or more (roofing, scaffolding or where there’s a risk of falling from a height), you’ll need a Working at Heights (WAH) ticket to meet safety requirements. Confined Space Entry Training can often be done as a bundled course with your WAH training and is necessary ti have if your work involves entering an enclosed or partially enclosed space that is not designed for continuous human occupancy.

Dreaming of Mining Australia jobs or FIFO work? You’ll likely need additional tickets like Mine Site Safety Induction (MSIC) or First Aid training to be fully compliant for high-risk environments.

If you’re planning on operating heavy machinery, like in civil construction, you’ll need plant and equipment tickets such as for loaders, excavators, or forklifts (aka those ginormous trucks you see your used-to-be favourite barista in your home town now driving on a mine site in Australia!). You’ll also need a valid driving licence. To operate a dump truck, you need a valid dump truck ticket (RIIMPO338E for rigid haul trucks or RIIMPO337E for articulated dump trucks), and if driving on public roads, a Heavy Rigid (HR) licence is required instead of a standard car licence.

For those looking to step up into leadership or safety roles, consider Health and Safety Representative (HSR) or Supervisor training — these can open doors to better job security and help boost your salary over time.

On top of that, more often that not you will also need a Verification of Competency (VOC) to get on-site. This is a process used to assess and confirm that an individual possesses the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to perform specific tasks or operate particular machinery safely and effectively and is only valid for two years.
