Sydney’s construction and infrastructure sector, healthcare industry, government agencies, manufacturing businesses and large corporate employers continue to create strong demand for qualified WHS professionals. The BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety and BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety provide nationally recognised pathways into WHS coordinator, safety officer, WHS advisor and safety management roles across New South Wales.

Delivered by AlertForce through a fully online, self-paced study model, both qualifications are designed for workers seeking to enter the WHS profession, formalise existing workplace experience or progress into more senior safety leadership positions. Whether you’re looking to support workplace compliance, manage WHS management systems (WHSMS), conduct incident investigations or lead organisational safety programs, these qualifications provide practical, workplace-focused skills that employers value.

The BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety is an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Level 4 qualification comprising 10 units of competency (5 core and 5 elective units). The BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety is an AQF Level 5 qualification comprising 10 units of competency (5 core and 5 elective units) and includes 5 prerequisite core units from the Certificate IV qualification.

Students interested in strengthening their workplace safety knowledge may also benefit from AlertForce’s Sydney HSR training course or the national BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety course.

What Our Students Say

4.6 out of 5 based on 827 Sydney Google reviews

“As a resident of Malaysia, I decided to enroll in this course to upskill and enhance my professional capabilities. The training center has exceeded my expectations, offering a high-quality learning environment that is both good and convenient. One of its major advantages is its easy-to-find location, which is particularly beneficial for international students like myself. The center's proximity to Arncliffe station is a significant plus, as the close access to train transportation makes commuting a breeze. This convenient setup allows me to focus on my studies without worrying about logistical challenges.”

“Kevin was really approachable and had a great sense of humour which provided a relaxed environment to learn in. I appreciated how he kept everyone engaged. Kevin was really good at applying theory into practice and allowing us to share our own WHS / HSR experiences so we could learn from each other. A big thank you to Kevin.”

“Excellent course, I'm saying this because unless like most courses that are just plain boring. This course was run By Matt who I think is a great educator, he explains information in a way that's not just educational but also relevant to today's work practices, his insight and depth of knowledge shows his years on both subjects like asbestos and silica and how dangerous both can be, I'm now armed with the knowledge of how to treat these hazards and also how to prevent a problem that can be eliminated, I definitely recommend this course for anybody who wants to learn about asbestos and silica.”
