What to Expect

The ConstructSafe assessments are not training courses; they are online assessments administered by an approved assessment provider. The assessments are delivered through touch screen tablets provided by Workplace Training, supported by an audio feed to assist candidates with reduced literacy skills or who have English as a second language.
