Assessment and Outcome

Upon successful completion of the assessments you will receive the BSB30719 Certificate III in Work Health and Safety qualification.

Reading, Writing and Digital Literacy

The course is delivered in English and requires the answering of questions, filling in tables, writing up notes and minutes of meetings, and filling in registers and other templates. Reading and writing skills are required, and they do need to be at a satisfactory level, as there are a number of projects that require literacy skills.

There is also a requirement for students to use technology such as laptops or computers, as they need to type up documentation which looks business like and professional, just as they would if they were working in an organisation and employed in this role.

How Long Will It Take?

Please note your enrolment in this qualification is for a set period and will expire automatically after one year. The time required to undertake the individual assessments will depend on your experience, literacy, skills and workplace resources, so cannot be estimated. If you have not completed your qualification in this time, an extension may be granted, however this will depend on how much progress has already been made in your studies.

Once a qualification has expired, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for any units which were completed during the enrolment timeframe. After expiry, you may re-enrol for another year for an additional fee, however this must be done within 6 months of the expiry date and will be subject to qualification currency. After 6 months, full price will be payable. Please refer to our Student Handbook for more information.
