04 — how it works
FormatTap-through microlearning — ~2 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.
~2 hr · online. Delivery: online, self-paced. Start, pause, and finish whenever suits.
Yes. The course is aligned to the QLD Managing respirable crystalline silica dust code of practice and the national model Code, including the engineered stone ban and the WHS Regulation requirements for high-risk crystalline silica work.
Anyone who cuts, grinds, drills or demolishes concrete, stone, brick, tile or engineered stone. WHS regulators expect silica awareness as part of the safety induction for these tasks.
Yes — we deliver to teams of any size at your site, on your schedule. See in-house training →
