What Our Training Is and Is Not
WorkProof training is non-accredited. This page sets out what a WorkProof certificate of completion is, what it is not, and when you must use a Registered Training Organisation instead.
Our Training Is Non-Accredited Awareness Training
WorkProof is not a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). Our courses are professional development and awareness training only. On completion you receive a certificate of completion, not a Statement of Attainment, not a unit of competency under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), and not a licence of any kind.
What Our Courses Are Good For
- General workplace awareness and refresher training, used alongside the site-specific induction your workplace must still run
- A record that can form part of the information, training and instruction a duty holder must provide under the WHS or OHS law that applies. It does not by itself discharge that duty
- Building general safety awareness and a stronger safety culture
- Professional development for supervisors, managers and safety champions
When You Must Use Accredited Training Instead
Australian WHS laws require certain training to be delivered by an RTO or licensed provider. Common examples include:
- General construction induction (“White Card”): required before carrying out construction work in every state and territory (unit CPCWHS1001, RTO delivery only).
- High-risk work licences: forklifts, cranes, hoists, pressure equipment, scaffolding, rigging and dogging all require a licence issued by your state regulator after training and assessment by an accredited assessor.
- Licensed asbestos removal work, licensed demolition and similar licensed classes of work.
- First aid certification (e.g. HLTAID011 Provide First Aid) where your workplace first aid needs assessment requires certified first aiders.
- Approved HSR training: Health and Safety Representatives must attend a regulator-approved training course to exercise their statutory powers.
Requirements differ between states and territories. Always check with your local WHS regulator (SafeWork NSW, WorkSafe Victoria, WorkSafe Queensland, SafeWork SA, WorkSafe WA, WorkSafe Tasmania, WorkSafe ACT or NT WorkSafe) before relying on any training for a legal requirement.
What You Have Been Asked For
The question most people arrive with is not "is this accredited", it is "will this do what I have been asked to produce". This table answers that. Where the answer is no, it says what does supply it.
