“I have just completed two days training at Alertforce in Melbourne Victoria. The courses were Remove non friable asbestos and Supervise non friable. I found the trainer Mick Webb to be very professional, very knowledgeable in this area and easy to learn from. I have taken away more than expected. I am a trainer/ assessor myself but in civil construction. We had a good size class which Mick was able to keep everyone interested which is a hard thing to do. I highly recommend Alertforce to anyone interested in these courses. Thanks Mick”

Melbourne’s extensive construction, renovation and property maintenance sectors continue to encounter asbestos-containing materials in residential, commercial and industrial buildings constructed before 1990. Fibro sheeting, asbestos cement products and other ACM remain common throughout older suburbs, creating ongoing demand for appropriately trained asbestos removal workers.
The nationally recognised CPCCDE3014 Remove Non-Friable Asbestos course provides the practical skills and knowledge required to identify non-friable ACM, assess workplace risks, implement control measures and safely remove asbestos-containing materials in accordance with Victorian occupational health and safety requirements. Delivered face-to-face by AlertForce, this asbestos removal course Melbourne workers trust also serves as a leading asbestos removal course Victoria workers choose to support employment opportunities in asbestos removal, demolition, renovation, construction and property maintenance throughout the state.
Participants learn how to prepare work areas, use appropriate personal protective equipment, follow decontamination procedures and complete asbestos removal activities safely and compliantly. Workers who may encounter asbestos but are not undertaking removal work may instead require AlertForce’s Asbestos Awareness Training. Workers exposed to multiple hazardous materials can also benefit from completing Silica Awareness Training.
For workers considering a career in asbestos removal, understanding licensing requirements is an important next step. Our guides on How to Get a Licence to Remove Asbestos and What Is Asbestos and Do You Need a Licence to Remove It? explain the requirements that apply to asbestos removal work in Australia.

Is the CPCCDE3014 asbestos removal course mandatory under WorkSafe Victoria's OHS regulations?
Workers undertaking licensed non-friable asbestos removal activities must hold appropriate training and comply with Victorian occupational health and safety requirements. CPCCDE3014 is the nationally recognised unit used for this purpose.
Does the CPCCDE3014 course qualify me to apply for a Class B Asbestos Removal Licence in Victoria?
The CPCCDE3014 unit is the recognised training requirement for workers undertaking licensed non-friable asbestos removal work. Businesses applying for a Class B Asbestos Removal Licence must also meet WorkSafe Victoria licensing requirements.
Can I complete the CPCCDE3014 online in Melbourne, or does it need to be face-to-face?
No. CPCCDE3014 includes practical training and assessment requirements and must be completed face-to-face.
What is the difference between non-friable and friable asbestos removal, and which licence covers each in Victoria?
Non-friable asbestos is bonded within a solid material such as asbestos cement sheeting, while friable asbestos can be easily crumbled and release airborne fibres. Class B licences cover non-friable asbestos removal, while Class A licences permit both friable and non-friable asbestos removal.
What OHS obligations does a PCBU in Victoria have when workers are removing non-friable asbestos?
Employers and duty holders must identify asbestos risks, implement appropriate control measures, provide suitable training and supervision, and ensure asbestos removal work is carried out in accordance with Victorian OHS legislation and regulatory requirements.
