Is Working at Heights training mandatory in NSW?

Where work involves a risk of falling, employers must ensure workers are trained and competent in safe working at heights procedures under WHS regulations.

How long does the course take?

Working at Heights training is typically completed in one day for face-to-face delivery. Refresher training may take less time depending on experience and competency requirements.

When will I receive my certificate?

Certificates are usually issued on the same day once you successfully complete the course and required assessments. If you complete the course online, your certificate will be emailed to you immediately after passing. Some providers may take up to 24 hours to finalise documentation.

What if I fail the assessment?

If you do not pass the assessment on your first attempt, you will be given the opportunity to review the learning material and resit the assessment. Most providers offer at least one complimentary resit, as understanding the content is essential for workplace safety and compliance.

Can I book training for my whole team?

Yes — group or corporate bookings are available. Many training providers can deliver onsite sessions for larger teams, tailor scheduling, or offer bulk enrolment options. Team training ensures everyone meets NSW legal requirements and follows consistent, safe work practices.

Great training organisation. Well organised and good communications. Provided a great trainer for the HSR course.

Did a CPR refresher. Reminded me of the things I'd missed or forgotten about. Got it done and got out. Highly recommend. Of the 10 or so of these I've done, this is the first that actually felt like a useful refresher and not just trying to stay awake to check the boxes.

The AlertForce course for Enter and Work in Confined Spaces was very comprehensive and informative. John is a very experienced worker and instructor, which enhanced the training experience for all of the class, he answered all our questions from both the health and safety, and legal perspective, and would also use his own real-world experiences to demonstrate the answers.
Thank you AlertForce Team and John, I'll recommend your courses to anybody who's looking for training.

Great training RTO for white card

Alec Thomson

Had my white card training today and it was an excellent experience all round. Being the only female in the group I was nervous at first, but everyone was so friendly (I don't think I touched a door once today lol) and welcoming. The instructor (shout out to Craig) was really interesting and friendly and made the course really engaging, time flew by! I 100% recommend these guys and will be going back soon to complete my working at heights certification.

I was very nervous about doing my forklift training but Craig our instructor made me feel comfortable and confident. I highly recommend Alert Force for training. If you do your forklift training I hope you get Craig he is great to work with!

Karen Eleria

My instructor Craig Hindle is the best. He is very professional and high skilled on his expertise especially teaching on how to drive a forklift. I am very grateful that he is my instruction. If you want to get your forklift licence, I highly recommended tp enrol at Alertforce

Did my white card with trainer Craig, he was awesome, took time to explain a couple things for us slower learners, didn't over complicate the course was very straight Would recommend 100%

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.

Did my Whitecard, Asbestos, Silica, and Working at Heights. All classes were informative, and succinct. The instructors were great, especially John, who did my working safely at heights.

Tazer Long

07 Feb 2026 • 9:49 AM

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.

Ben Vickers

Just completed my forklift course with Craig, highly recommend

Patrick

02 Dec 2025 • 1:12 PM

I'm really satisfied with the way the class was lead simple and easy to remember for the questions on the theory test. I'm really grateful that I'm given another chance to do train and do the practical test again which I didn't pass on the first time. So that I'm prepared to use the forklift without making mistakes when I do get my licence as well as
work using the forklift.
