Guest Glasgow2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi Ian, I used www.aveling.com,au and am pretty sure this is one of the main providers for all kinds of training relating to the construction industry. Tip - try the assessments first if you have worked in the construction industry as its pretty basic stuff and saves about 2 hours watching the vidios etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Thomas Mckeown Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi Ian, I used this site http://bluedogtraining.com.au/ good thing with them is you can save your progress and keep going back to the test over a few nights, basically I just done a section per night to save me sitting through the full thing all at once......and there was no problems getting the card sent to my UK address.

Guest LadyW Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hi Sorry I have a dumb question! My husband and I are currently waiting for our visa to come through and we havent done a lot fo research yet. Does my hubbie need a white card to work in Oz (Joiner), even after doing all of the Vetasses assessments?! Thanks Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thomas Mckeown Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yip your husband will need a white card to work on building sites in oz.....it's the equivalent of our CSCS cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wayne&wanda Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 hubbie did the course with Aveling, passed the date to have it sent over here so emailed and they responded really quickly and sent the card.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derham Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hi all, I am moving out in September do you need a white card for management roles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonleannejack Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hi all, by all accounts you wont even get through the gate without the card, regardless of position. It is cheap, and will be simple enough no doubt. Probably like obtaining a cscs over here, stupid questions like what colour is a 110v lead.

bwatt99 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I know this thread is about year old now but i was wondering,do the guys in oz normally pay for this on there own or do there companies pay for this,lets just say over the years of doing such courses in the uk etc i have normally had an employer put me through these once they wanted me or while i had been working for them,as im new to oz im hoping or trying to think the same might happen here,i take it does not? Maybe this sort of thing is holding me up from getting some of the jobs over there or sure is not helping,i did a search and there seems to be a lot of companies doing this,is there anyone you recommend and if so why,as i see there is differences in prices as well,cheaper the better for me i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derham Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 You will have tp pay upfront yourself. I used http://aveling.com.au/safety-courses/white-card-wa-construction-course-online.htm?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=White%2BCard you can do it online and collect your card when you get here, it very basic and at $65 it's worth paying, you wont get anything without it.

Its only $65. If you work on a construction site you have to have one by law and don't think anyone will employ you without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
