What this course does and does not do?

- This course does not represent a removal licence or permission to remove asbestos containing material without a license and/or government notification. Asbestos Removal Licences are issued by the regulator (e.g. your Safework / Worksafe authority) who require the license holder, in turn, to have suitably trained workers to perform removal work with registered supervisors.
- This course does not represent on-site verification of competency or site assessment.
CITB Subsidies (SA ONLY)
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) provides training subsidies for people who work in the Construction Industry and who live in South Australia. In order to access training subsidies, you will first need to apply for an eligible worker ID number with the CITB.
This ID number must be quoted when you book on to any of our courses with CITB subsidy.
If you are an employer in the Construction Industry, we recommend that you ensure that all new employees are registered with the CITB and have an eligible worker ID number when they commence work with you. It is also wise to keep a check on the expiry date, as your CITB number is not valid/eligible if it has expired.
To apply for a CITB ID Number or re-new your CITB ID Number, please visit www.citb.org.au and follow the link on the homepage.
For further information please contact the CITB on (08) 8172 9500.
