• Hand wash is provided in all bathrooms and outdoor wash stations and everyone is encouraged to wash hands regularly.

We are kindly asking that everyone please comply with these measures prior to, and whilst attending our facility.

Driving Lessons & Truck Driver Training

At Daysafe we are taking strict precautionary measures to ensure we keep ourselves and our cars as sanitary as possible. The health and safety of our students and instructors is our utmost priority in these uncertain times. 

We have regularly consulted with the WA Health Department about any educational restrictions which have been implemented and we have received advice today, that we can resume our driving lessons/training in both cars and trucks as normal, until further notice.

As stated above, we are taking strict measures to ensure the risk to students and instructors is mitigated. Vehicles will be disinfected before and after each student, hand sanitiser will be available in all vehicles and all students will be temperature tested prior to beginning.

Obviously, this service is dependent on participants co-operation, so anyone displaying Covid-19 like symptoms or not feeling well for any reason, is obliged to let us know so we can support you in any way we can.

We really do appreciate your co-operation throughout this trying time.

Thanks for your patience, and all the best to our community.

Team Daysafe!

General conditions of eligibility for Construction Training Fund grants and subsidies

Eligibility for Construction Training Fund Direct Indenture Grants, Supplementary Skills/OH&S Program subsidies and additional benefits is dependent on an individual’s or company’s ability to demonstrate primary and substantial direct involvement in Western Australia’s construction industry, specifically in on-site construction, installation and fabrication activity.

Eligible individuals must be: 
• Directly employed in the building and construction industry in Western Australia
• Directly employed by residential construction companies or construction companies undertaking relevant projects in Western Australia
• Self-employed and undertaking work which is directly involved in the construction process

Where eligibility of an applicant is in question the Training Fund will seek evidence of eligibility via review of a detailed, recent work history and/or evidence of employment.

Ineligible companies/individuals include:
• Government departments, agencies and Government employees
• Mining, oil, gas and mineral exploration companies
• Companies that manufacture, supply or deliver building products
• Companies that manufacture, supply, deliver or install non-building products after completion of the construction process
• Companies that perform minor maintenance, repairs and/or inspection of elevators and escalators
• Companies that provide maintenance or repairs of a minor nature after the construction phase
• Carpet laying or floor covering companies and contractors

Unemployed participants 
If an individual is unemployed at the time of undertaking a short course recognised by the Training Fund, they must be able to:
• Demonstrate that they were directly employed in the construction industry in Western Australia for a minimum of six months, within 12 months prior to the date of course commencement;
Or if no recent work experience is involved:
• Have written evidence of a relevant employment offer from an eligible company or contractor in the construction industry prior to commencement of the training course
Unemployed participants may be required to provide additional documentation to assist the Training Fund to process a claim. 

Other 
Although the definition of construction refers to ‘on-site’ activities, under certain conditions subsidies may also be provided to workers whose normal duties may not always require them to attend site on a daily basis. Service providers to the building and construction industry may be eligible for subsidised training in occupational health and safety.

The final determination regarding eligibility rests with the Training Fund.

Please note that from the 1 January 2015 as per the initiative by the Australian Government Department of Industry, it will be a compulsory legal requirement for all VET students who undertake nationally recognised training with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI).

The USI is a randomly-generated alpha-numeric code allocated at no cost to an individual student who enters the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system. Once allocated the USI will stay with the student for life and be used to record any nationally recognised VET training undertaken by the student.

In effect, as of 1 January 2015 RTO’s will not be permitted to issue certificates to students who do not hold a USI.

Therefore, Daysafe Training recommends that all students apply for their USI prior to enrolling in training from 1 January 2015. We can offer assistance in creating your USI during the enrolment process, however this will cause delays.

The process for creating a student USI takes about 5 minutes, and can be done online using this button.

RPL is the acknowledgement of a full range of an individual’s skills and knowledge, irrespective of how it has been acquired. It includes competencies gained through formal study, work experience and other ‘life’ experience. Daysafe Pty Ltd will ensure that an individual’s prior learning is recognised.

Participants who believe they have skills and knowledge that would be covered in the training programs offered by Daysafe Pty Ltd should apply at time of enrolment to have their skills and knowledge assessed and where appropriate have the training program reduced. Participants can also make an application for Recognition of Prior Learning at any time during the training program.

An RPL application pack is available.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING: Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process used by RTOs to evaluate a person's skills, knowledge and experience gained through working and learning, in Australia or overseas, be it through life experience, work or other activities such as volunteering.

CREDIT TRANSFER: Daysafe Pty Ltd recognises qualifications and statements of attainment issued by other RTOs for like competencies. Students seeking credit transfer for AQF qualifications and/or statements of attainments must present the original documents for verification.
