Step‑By‑Step Enrolment via Edway

1. Visit Edway Training’s Website

   Edway’s White Card training is delivered under their RTO 91401 accreditation. You'll find it listed clearly in South Australia and other states 

   
   

2. Create Your Learner Account + ID & USI Setup

   You’ll need to provide personal details and verify your identity (e.g. driver’s licence or passport). Edway also requires a USI, as nationally mandated for recognised training.

   
   

3. Complete Pre‑Training Review (LLN Assessment)

   Edway includes a language, literacy and numeracy check to ensure you can comfortably undertake the course with no surprises during training.

   
   

4. Make Payment

   Fees are transparent - typically around $120–$130 for domestic students. Corporate invoicing options are also available.

   
   

5. Access the Portal + PPE Requirements

   You’ll receive a confirmation email with immediate access to the portal. The course requires basic PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, hi-vis vest, ear protection) and a webcam for some practical assessments.

   
   

6. Complete the Course and Assessments

   The modules include legislation, hazard handling, incident response, plus a practical demonstration submitted digitally or live via Zoom.

   
   

7. Receive Statement of Attainment and Request White Card

   Once you pass, Edway issues your Statement of Attainment immediately. They either provide a digital White Card or guide you through applying to SafeWork SA for your official card.
