Stacking tickets doesn’t mean spending months in training.

Most short courses take just one day — and with smart planning, you can stack one or two certifications in the same week and be job-ready fast.

• Book back-to-back courses: Many of our students complete 2–4 tickets in a single week by scheduling them in the right order.
• Start with essentials: If you're new to the industry, start with legally required certifications like the White Card or First Aid, then build from there.
• Check job ads first: Look at real listings on SEEK or Indeed — what tickets are employers asking for in your area? Stack accordingly.
• Use locations to your advantage: We run daily courses across multiple cities and regions. Find the nearest training site with open dates.
• Get certificates fast: Most of our courses issue certificates on the same day, so you can start applying for jobs straight away.

Some people spend weeks applying for work without realising they’re missing just one or two tickets. With the right stack, you're qualified, compliant, and ready — and that’s what gets you hired.

The job market in 2025 is different. More employers are hiring project by project, compliance rules are tighter, and there's more competition for each position — especially in construction, mining, and logistics.

Stacking your tickets helps you stay ahead of these changes.

It means you’re not tied to just one type of job. You can adapt to different worksites, meet new safety requirements, and move between roles when demand shifts.

For example, a forklift operator with a Working at Heights ticket can shift into yard or warehouse maintenance work.

A labourer with Confined Spaces and Fire Warden training is useful on shutdowns or mining contracts.

According to Jobs and Skills Australia's 2025 update, workers with flexible skill sets are more likely to stay in continuous employment — even during downturns or changes in site conditions¹.

Employers aren’t just looking for one licence — they want workers who are already trained, compliant, and ready to start.

When a job needs to be filled quickly, the candidate with the right combination of tickets gets the call.

At National Courses, we regularly speak with site supervisors, safety officers, and hiring managers across construction, logistics, mining, and hospitality.

The feedback is consistent: workers with multiple, relevant certifications are easier to onboard and are more likely to get hired.

For example, in construction, having a White Card might be mandatory, but stacking that with Traffic Control, EWP, or First Aid means you're not limited to a single role on site.

You’re more valuable — and more employable.

According to the ABS Job Vacancies Report, sectors like construction, civil works, mining, warehousing, and transport continue to face serious skills shortages in 2025.

Workers who already hold the right certifications are being placed faster — and paid better.

Every ticket you earn is more than a piece of paper — it’s a step forward.

It’s proof that you’re serious about your future, and ready to do what others won’t.

In a market where jobs are competitive and safety rules are tightening, government-approved training and certification matters more than ever.

The people who stay in work — even when things slow down — are the ones who’ve invested in themselves.

A White Card alone might get you started.

But adding Traffic Control, EWP, or First Aid? That gets you noticed.

That gets you hired.

These aren’t just short courses. They’re tools.

Every certification you stack gives you more flexibility, more options, and more confidence walking into your next role.

And yes, it costs time and money upfront.

But the return is real.

For most people, just one extra ticket pays for itself in the first week of work.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need to take the next smart step — and keep moving.
