Hey, we get it—safety matters to you! Since 1994, GEM College has been a trailblazer in Work Health and Safety, creating Australia’s first nationally accredited safety qualifications. This course is perfect if you’re dreaming of roles like Safety Representative or OHS Manager. You’ll learn to manage risks, apply WHS laws, and lead safety efforts in any workplace. Join us to make the world a safer place to work!

This course is designed for people like you—those ready to take on WHS responsibilities while excelling in their current roles. You’ll gain the skills to offer technical advice, support your team, and unlock exciting career paths like Safety Officer or WHS Advisor, with expertise that shines in any industry.

Finish this course, and the world of opportunities opens up! You could dive into a Diploma of Work Health and Safety, Leadership and Management, or even head to university with up to 6-12 months of credit. We’ve designed this course to give you practical, job-ready skills while paving the way for your academic dreams.

No formal hurdles to jump through here! You just need solid communication skills and basic computer know-how (think email, web browsing, and word processing). We’ll have a friendly chat during your interview to make sure this course is the right fit for your goals and to explore Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) options.

To get started, you’ll need a computer with Windows 7+ or macOS 10.6+, 2GB RAM, 2GB free disk space, a 2.0 GHz processor, 1024×768 resolution monitor, ADSL1 internet (1.5Mbps), a valid email, speakers/microphone, Adobe Reader, and software like Microsoft Office and an up-to-date browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).

We’re all about finding the right fit for you. In a personal interview, we’ll chat about your career goals, explore RPL or credit transfer options, identify any support you might need, and walk you through key policies like privacy, payments, and how we handle grievances.

Once you complete this course, you’re set to level up! You can pursue advanced qualifications like the Diploma of Work Health and Safety or Diploma of Business. Plus, our pathways make university entry easier, potentially giving you up to a year of credit toward a degree.

Dreaming of a university degree? A GEM Certificate IV or Diploma could give you 6-12 months of credit, and some Advanced Diplomas offer even more. You’ll gain practical skills to shine in the workplace while fast-tracking your academic journey.

We’ve made it flexible so you can tailor the course to your career:

• You can pick both units from Group A or Group B for a perfect fit.
• Not finding what you need? Choose one or both units from any currently endorsed Training Package qualification or accredited course at Certificate IV level.
• If you select one imported unit from outside Group A or B, it must be at Certificate IV level.
• For a second imported unit, you can choose from Certificate III or Diploma level.
• All units must be relevant to your work environment, align with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), and support a valid, industry-recognized outcome.
