Non-Friable Asbestos Removal
White Card

Three practical courses, completed on separate training dates

This bundle includes Non-Friable Asbestos Removal, Asbestos Removal Supervision and White Card. You choose and attend each course separately.

Non-Friable Asbestos Removal

Remove non-friable asbestosCPCCDE3028 · Statement of Attainment

You train to remove non-friable asbestos safely — the bonded material that is not crumbly, and the kind construction and demolition workers meet most often on site.

It is written for the people doing that work: construction and demolition workers taking bonded asbestos off site, and anyone who needs this unit before moving up to Class A friable removal or supervising.

  • What you'll learn
  • Prepare for asbestos removal
  • Prepare the removal area and site
  • Enclose the removal site
  • Carry out the asbestos removal process
  • Carry out decontamination
  • Clean up the work site
  • Complete regulatory processes
See the Non-Friable Asbestos Removal course

Asbestos Removal Supervision

Supervise asbestos removalCPCCDE4009 · Statement of Attainment

You train to plan and oversee licensed asbestos removal, and to run the job to its asbestos removal control plan.

This is the supervisor's course, not the removalist's. It's for site supervisors and leading hands overseeing licensed asbestos removal — and anyone a licensed removalist must nominate as the on-site or readily-available supervisor.

  • What you'll learn
  • Plan how you'll supervise a removal job
  • Oversee preparation of the removal area
  • Supervise compliant testing and air monitoring
  • Supervise the removal and decontamination work
  • Keep the job compliant with the asbestos removal control plan and work health and safety law
See the Asbestos Removal Supervision course

White Card

Prepare to work safely in the construction industryCPCWHS1001 · Statement of Attainment

You need a White Card before you can work on a construction site. It is the construction induction card the law requires. The course gives you the core work health and safety knowledge to work safely on site.

  • What you'll learn
  • Understand the work health and safety laws and your duties
  • Spot common construction hazards
  • Apply risk control measures
  • Communicate and report safety issues on site
  • Respond to incidents and emergencies
See the White Card course

Before booking

Before you book

A quick language check is part of enrolment. You'll need enough English to read, write and understand the course. After booking, you'll complete a short language, literacy, numeracy and digital (LLND) check in your student account. You need to pass it to do the course. Not sure? Try a practice check first. If you don't pass, you get a full refund minus the $30 administration fee.Try a practice check

What you'll need

A USI. A Unique Student Identifier.

Photo ID. A valid photo ID, shown when you arrive on the day.

On the day, you'll also show your photo ID.

A current White Card. You need a current White Card (CPCWHS1001, issued after May 2009). Without it, you can't do this course.

A removal Statement of Attainment. For non-friable (CPCCDE3028) or friable (CPCCDE3029) asbestos removal — either one meets the entry requirement. The earlier versions, CPCCDE3014 and CPCCDE3015, are accepted too.

Why do these courses?

Non-Friable Asbestos Removal

Class B training is what gets you onto bonded asbestos removal jobs — a licensed removalist can't put you on the tools without it, and it's the unit you have to hold before you can go on to Class A or supervising.

Required for

  • Asbestos removal worker (bonded asbestos)Removal work is licensed work — you do it for a licensed removalist, or you hold the Class B licence yourself.
  • Demolition and strip-out workerRemoval work is licensed work — you do it for a licensed removalist, or you hold the Class B licence yourself.
  • Self-employed tradesperson removing bonded asbestos sheetingWorking on your own above the unlicensed limit means holding the Class B licence yourself, plus the supervisor competency.

Asbestos Removal Supervision

Every licensed asbestos removal job has to have a named supervisor holding this certification — on friable jobs they are at the removal area the whole time it is being carried out, and on non-friable jobs they have to be readily available to the crew.

Required for

  • Asbestos removal supervisor — including site supervisors and leading hands the removalist namesThe supervisor is named on the removalist's licence, so the appointment comes from the licensed business you work for.
  • Self-employed removalist working alone on non-friable asbestosWorking alone on more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos means holding the Class B licence and both competencies — worker and supervisor.

White Card

Getting your White Card opens up opportunities to work in roles like labourer, trades assistant and apprentice — every one of them needs this card before you start.

Required for

  • Construction labourer
  • Trades assistant
  • Apprentice (construction trades)

Your Statement of Attainment travels with you. The Class B removal licence does not — each state and territory's work health and safety regulator issues its own.

Questions, answered

How do I choose the course dates?
Continue to the booking page and choose one date for each course.
Do the courses run on the same day?
No. This bundle has 3 separate course dates. You choose one available date for each course.
What do I receive when I finish?
You receive 3 course credentials, one for each course you successfully complete.
White Card: Is the White Card nationally recognised?
Yes. You receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for CPCWHS1001. A valid construction induction (White) card is recognised across Australia, so you don't need a separate local card to work interstate. Site-specific inductions still apply, and your card lapses after 2 years out of the construction industry.
White Card: How long does it take?
About 6.5 hours including breaks — one day, in person.
White Card: Which states can I book?
You can book in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory. Working in Queensland? A nationally recognised construction induction card is recognised across Australia, so a card issued in another state lets you work on Queensland sites.
White Card: What do I need to enrol?
You'll need a valid photo ID and your Unique Student Identifier (USI). You'll also complete a short language, literacy, numeracy and digital check in your student account after booking. For in-person sessions, bring enclosed footwear.
White Card: How long does my White Card last?
There's generally no fixed expiry, but your card lapses if you're out of construction work for 2 or more years. A few states have their own validity rules. Pick your state to see the exact validity and who issues your card.
White Card: What jobs require a White Card?
Any work classed as construction work on an Australian site needs a current White Card — that covers construction labourers, trades assistants and apprentices across the construction trades, and traffic controllers working on construction sites. Traffic control needs its own traffic-control accreditation as well as your White Card — you need both.
White Card: Do I need a White Card for traffic control?
For traffic control on a construction site, yes — but the White Card on its own is not enough. Traffic control needs its own traffic-control accreditation as well, so you need both: our Traffic Controller (TC1) course takes a current White Card as a mandatory entry requirement, and you need your Statement of Attainment for CPCWHS1001 as the evidence — a plastic White Card is not accepted, and entry is refused without it.
White Card: I have an old Victorian Red Card — is it still valid?
Yes. A Victorian Red Card issued before 1 July 2008 is still valid. If you'd like to move to a White Card, an online Red Card transfer is available in Victoria.
