What the Certificate of Completion represents

After passing the free assessment, you can optionally purchase a Certificate of Completion for $39 AUD. It confirms that you completed the warehouse manual handling awareness training content on this website and passed the assessment, with the score and date shown on the certificate.

This is general, non-accredited awareness training. It is not nationally recognised training, does not issue a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment, and is not an RTO-issued qualification. Nothing on this website implies government approval, accreditation, licensing or certification of competency.

Employer and site requirements

Many workplaces have their own site-specific induction, manual handling or WHS training requirements in addition to general awareness courses like this one. This certificate is not a substitute for any employer-mandated or accredited training. Always confirm what your employer or site requires before relying on this certificate.

Verifying a certificate

Every certificate has a unique certificate ID that can be checked online at any time, so an employer or other third party can confirm it was genuinely issued by us.
