Background
Daisy was cleaning accommodation at a mine site before being elected as the camp's safety representative. She had twice tried to gain WHS qualifications online and once via an intensive 7-day course, but both failed due to a lack of structure and poor learning outcomes.

She chose CBD College for its integrated learning approach with practical assessments completed during class time, removing the need for work placements. The affordable fees and practical focus suited her time and resource constraints.
The experience
The supportive environment was transformative — her doubts were resolved during class, and she valued the accessible learning platform, study guides and assessment tips. Her trainer's day-one encouragement restored her confidence.
The impact
The qualifications gave her the skills, knowledge and confidence to actively pursue health and safety roles.
