Entry Requirements & Assessment

Entry Requirements

There are no formal entry requirements for BSB41419. You will need a laptop computer with Microsoft Word, good computer skills, and an appropriate level of literacy. For Zoom classes, a stable internet connection with camera and microphone is essential.

Assessment Work

All assessments are scenario-based and integrated β€” no workplace placement required. You'll start working on assessments during the 5 face-to-face days, so you'll already have momentum when the classroom component ends.

Flexible Completion

Work at your own pace after the face-to-face days. There is no minimum time β€” hand in your work as soon as it is completed. Students with VET experience and good computer skills often finish quickly.

What Our Graduates Say

"I recently completed my Certificate IV in WHS through CBD College and had a fantastic experience! The course structure was well-organised β€” a 5-day intensive Zoom training followed by self-paced assessment. All learning materials and resources were provided upfront and were easy to follow. The trainer was outstanding β€” knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely supportive. They were available not only during the Zoom sessions but also afterward for any questions or clarification I needed. The online learning portal was also super user-friendly and made the process even smoother. I honestly couldn't fault the experience and am now seriously considering enrolling in the Diploma of WHS. Highly recommend!"

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior qualifications or WHS experience to enrol?

No. There are no formal entry requirements for BSB41419. You need a laptop with Microsoft Word, good computer skills, and an appropriate level of literacy. WHS experience is helpful but not required.

Can my employer pay for the course?

Yes. Many employers pay directly or reimburse course fees. We can invoice your employer on request.

Do you offer help sessions after the face-to-face days?

Yes. After completing the face-to-face component, you can log onto our Zoom help sessions with your trainer. These sessions are perfect for revision, consolidation, or working through any assessment questions you need support with.

Is this qualification recognised nationally?

Yes. BSB41419 is a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework. CBD College is a registered training organisation (RTO 91399) regulated by ASQA.

What's the difference between Zoom and Classroom delivery?

Both are face-to-face with a live trainer β€” the only difference is location. Zoom students join from home via video conferencing. Classroom students attend our Sydney or Melbourne CBD campus. Same qualification, same trainers, same outcome.

Can I continue to the Diploma of WHS?

Yes. After completing BSB41419, the core units satisfy the prerequisites for BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety. Because our Cert IV WHS already covers part of the Diploma content, graduates of our Cert IV only need to attend 4 face-to-face days (not 5) and complete 4.5 assessments (not 5) for the Diploma. You're already ahead before you start. You can bundle both courses for $3,299 β€” call 1300 616 218 to book.

Why does CBD College use integrated assessments?

Integrated assessments mean less work for you. Instead of completing a separate assessment for each unit, our assessments are designed to cover multiple units at once β€” reducing duplication and keeping the workload manageable. We write all our own assessments in-house so they are relevant, practical and interesting. We don't use off-the-rack assessments.
