About this training
Specialist work requires a precise training request: the equipment, work activity, jurisdiction and intended outcome all matter. Safety Training Finder connects employers with providers and does not deliver training, assess competence or issue licences. Explain the roles you are planning for so prospective providers can clarify suitable training and assessment pathways.
Where nationally recognised training is proposed through an appropriately authorised provider, verify the organisation and its scope on training.gov.au. The provider must confirm the exact unit or qualification offered and availability. Licence and competency assessment must involve appropriately authorised providers; verify their authority and the relevant licensing authority responsible for issuing any licence.

Frequently asked questions
Who assesses competence and issues licences?+
Safety Training Finder does neither. Confirm assessment authority and competency documentation with the appropriately authorised provider, and verify the relevant licensing authority for licence issuance. The actual provider must confirm credentials, exact scope and availability before booking.
How do we verify a nationally recognised training proposal?+
Where delivered by an appropriately authorised provider, nationally recognised training requires scope verification. Verify the organisation and its scope on training.gov.au; the actual provider must confirm credentials, availability and the exact unit or qualification offered.
Can training or assessment be completed entirely online?+
Do not assume an online option meets the practical or licensing requirements for a specialist activity. The actual provider must confirm credentials, availability, equipment access, assessment conditions and any attendance requirements for the exact pathway proposed.
