DELIVERY METHOD

RPL pathway. Gap training is provided if applicable (please refer to the fees section for applicable fees) 

WHAT WILL I LEARN

This qualification provides you with the technical and management skills to become a contractor, or supervisor covering work in commercial applications.

Completion of the general induction training program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction Training for Construction Work (ASCC 2007) is required before entering a construction work site. Achievement of unit CPCCOHS1001A covers this requirement.

DELIVERY

Although this is an RPL pathway, gap training will be conducted via distance and through workplace training. The learning component of the qualification is customised to suit the individual client needs. Accelerated learning is open to all participants providing that they are able to demonstrate competency in all units required to gain the qualification.

Upon enrolment, the student will be provided with an RPL Evidence Application to complete in their own time, which will enable them to provide evidence of their experience. Once the RPL Evidence Application has been completed and submitted to the Registered Training Organisation (RTO), then an assessor will check your file and contact you to arrange an interview.

Evidence for RPL may include:

  • Proven work experience
  • Life experiences (including voluntary work and leisure pursuits)
  • Previous study e.g. qualifications, industry training, professional development programs or units
  • References from qualified tradespersons

During your interview this will allow the student to explain the evidence provided, and allow the assessor to question the candidate on their knowledge skill and experience. The assessor may also conduct site visits to confirm the candidate’s level of knowledge and skill. If gaps in knowledge, skill or experience are identified, further training can be provided for the candidate to obtain the qualification. The duration of this training is dependent on the individual candidate’s prior and current work experience.
