Qualification Details

CPC20112 - Certificate II in Construction (Release 1)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

CPC20112 Certificate II in Construction (Release 1) Qualification is offered by Get Qualified Australia via our RTO partners using a combination of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Skills Recognition.

Wherever possible, the qualification will be fully assessed using your career experience without the need for further study. If required, gap training is available from our RTO partners.

Description

This qualification reflects the skills and knowledge required of individuals and provides an occupational outcome and a range of support tasks applicable to a majority of construction work sites.

Occupational titles may include:

• builder's labourer.

The qualification has core units of competency that are required in many Certificate III qualifications. The elective options are structured to allow choice from a range of units aligned at Certificate III level and in total could provide meaningful credit in a construction industry Australian Apprenticeship.

The construction industry strongly affirms that training and assessment leading to recognition of skills must be undertaken in a real or very closely simulated workplace environment and this qualification requires all units of competency to be delivered in this context.

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.

Entry Requirements

Not applicable.

Packaging Rules

To achieve this qualification, the candidate must demonstrate competency in:

• 15 units of competency:

• 10 core units

• 5 elective units.

The elective units are to be chosen as follows:

• up to 5 units from the elective units below
• one unit may be chosen from Certificate I, II or III qualifications in CPC08 or another current Training Package or accredited course, provided the integrity of the AQF alignment is ensured, and they contribute to a valid, industry-supported vocational outcome.

Some units in this qualification may have prerequisite requirements, which must be met when packaging the qualification. Users are referred to the list of CPC08 units with prerequisite unit requirements available in this Training Package for this purpose.
