Can’t Find a Job? You’re Not Alone — But You’re Not Powerless, Either

You’re applying.

You’re waiting.

You’re hearing nothing back.

If that sounds familiar, you're not the problem.

The reality is, without the right qualification, your resume often doesn’t even make it to a real person.

Employers are overwhelmed.

They’re filtering apllications fast using advanced hiring software and AI technology.

And if you don’t tick all of the qualification boxes — RSA, RSG, White Card, Food Safety — you’re done before you’ve even started.

But here’s what you need to know:

You could tick those boxes by tomorrow.

At National Online Courses (RTO 41072), we help everyday Australians go from stuck to certified — often in less than 24 hours.

No classrooms. No waiting lists.

Just high-quality, government-recognised training that gets you hired.

So if you’re ready to work — but the doors keep staying shut — it’s time to try a different approach.

Trainer’s Insight
“We see it all the time — people think they’re ‘unqualified’ or lack experience, but the truth is, they’re just uncertified. Once they complete the right short course, they go from zero calls to job interviews in 48 hours.”

No Experience? No Degree? No Problem — If You Have the Right Certificate

Here’s what most job ads won’t tell you:

You don’t always need a resume full of experience to get hired.

But you do need to meet legal requirements.

That’s where nationally recognised, accredited short courses come in.

For certain jobs — especially in hospitality, construction, and food service — these certificates aren’t “nice to have.”

They’re non-negotiable.

If you’re trying to get hired as a bartender without an RSA, or work on-site without a White Card, your application will never make it through and you won't get hired.

Employers can’t legally consider you — no matter how motivated or reliable you are.

These four certificates below are:

• Mandatory for entry-level jobs in key industries
• Recognised across Australia and delivered by a registered training organisation (RTO 41072)
• Fast to complete online, often in a single day
• Affordable, with no hidden costs or enrolment tricks
  
  
  

Trainer’s Insight
“The difference between someone still looking for work and someone starting a shift tomorrow is often a $50 certificate. It’s not about talent — it’s about being eligible.”

Which Certificate Matches Your Job Goals?

Don’t Guess. Get Clear. Choose the Certificate That Matches Where You Want to Work.

Before we dive into the full breakdown of each certificate, let’s cut through the noise.

If you already know what kind of work you want — or even where you want to work — this table will help you figure out exactly which course to take. No second-guessing.

No wasting time or money.

Trainer’s Insight
“The most common mistake we see? People doing the wrong course for the job they want. This table cuts through that. If you want to work in a pub, get your RSA. If you want to work in construction, get your White Card.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to do all four certificates to get a job?

No.

You only need the certificate that’s required for the type of job you want.

For example, an RSA is essential for serving alcohol, but not relevant if you're going into construction.

Start with the one that fits your goal — you can always add others later if needed.

Are these courses accepted by employers?

Yes.

All courses from National Online Courses (RTO 41072) are nationally recognised and government-approved.

Our certificates meet the standards required by employers across Australia in regulated industries like hospitality, construction, food service, and gaming.

Do I need special equipment?

No.

You can complete most courses using a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

As long as you have an internet connection, you’re good to go.

For the online White Card course, you’ll need a webcam for ID checks and the verbal assessment.

How soon can I start applying for jobs after finishing a course?

In most cases, you can start applying the same day your certificate is issued.

Many of our students are offered interviews or shifts immediately after completing their course.

What if I get stuck or don’t understand something?

We’ve got you covered.

Our trainers and support team are available to help you if you hit a roadblock — whether it’s a technical issue or a course question.

You’re never on your own.

Can I do the course around work or other study?

Yes.

All of our courses are self-paced and 100% online, so you can complete them when it suits you — whether that’s all in one sitting or split up across a few days or evenings.
