Is this just RPL?
No. It is a proper training and assessment program that recognises the experience you bring. Genuine prior evidence is considered under standard RPL and credit transfer rules — we do not advertise instant or automatic RPL.
Do I need to be a full-time safety officer?
No. Supervisors, leading hands and coordinators who carry safety duties as part of the role are typically well suited.
What evidence will I need?
Risk assessments, SWMS, toolbox talks, inductions, hazard and incident reports you personally contributed to, plus employer verification.
