Licensing and certification requirements can vary between states, territories and industry sectors. You should check any additional requirements that may apply to your industry before assuming you are adequately qualified.
Course Design
Just because a provider trains people and issues a certificate of competence in a height safety, it doesn’t always necessarily indicate the course is of a high quality. While the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) oversees the quality systems of a training organisation, they typically don’t have the resources to inspect every single provider.
Look for a provider with experienced trainers, a good reputation and adequate resources to deliver a high standard of training. Consider how long they’ve operated as a workplace training organisation and whether they incorporate practical, hands-on learning using actual height safety equipment rather than relying on online education.
