04 — how it works
FormatTap-through microlearning — ~1 hr · online. Built for phones, works everywhere. Start on smoko, pause, pick it up on the train.
PracticeScenario cards drop you into real situations along the way — you make the call a worker actually faces, then get the reasoning, straight up.
ChecksQuick knowledge checks in every module. Not exam-style — the course makes sure it sticks before it moves on.
You leave withA certificate of completion from an RTO-crafted course, issued instantly and logged in the Nexa Compliance Hub — with renewal reminders for you or your whole team.
No. This is an awareness course — practical, RTO-authored online training that issues a certificate of completion. It is not a nationally recognised unit of competency.
~1 hr · online. Delivery: online, self-paced. Start, pause, and finish whenever suits.
PCBUs must manage the risk of hazardous manual tasks under the WHS Regulation, and training workers in risk identification and controls is a standard part of meeting that duty — the model Code of Practice on hazardous manual tasks spells it out.
