Course Overview

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

Completing the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person to carry out construction work. Achievement of unit CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

Additional units of competency may be required to meet builder or project manager registration requirements in various states and territories.
