Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

CPC31111 Certificate III in Steelfixing (Release 2) 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 a trade outcome in steelfixing in the construction industry.

Occupational titles may include:

• Steelfixer.

The qualification has core unit of competency requirements that cover common skills for the construction industry, as well as a specialist field of work.

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.
