Obtain and renew your Site Safety Card in Christchurch

The Site Safety Card (formerly the Site Safe Passport) is the proof most major contractors want before you’re allowed on site. It’s valid for 2 years and recognised right across New Zealand, so the card you earn in Christchurch works everywhere.

Train the way that suits you: in person at our Hornby venue, live by webinar, or fully online. To renew, complete another eligible course before your card expires, and if you’ve already done Foundation, choose a different course rather than repeating it.
