CPC30211 Certificate III in Carpentry

We structure the course to fit in with our students’ busy work schedule. The course is offered as a Skills Gap Assessment program with training only for those units for which the individual needs additional skills and knowledge.   You will be provided with a trainer who still works in the industry to assist you work your way through the course.

The program should take students approximately 3 – 6 months of study but can be longer or shorter depending on individual student needs and amount of gap assessment required.

Core Industry Training offers the CPC30211 Certificate III in Carpentry qualification via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). You can have your current experience, skills and knowledge assessed against the requirements of the qualification.

You must be able to demonstrate a minimum of two to three years relevant experience to validate your ability to competently and successfully undertake the range of carpentry tasks.

You should also possess an adequate level of language, literacy and numeracy skills sufficient enough to read and interpret building plans, specifications, codes and standards as well as undertake a variety of calculations.

You must also have completed the general WHS construction safety induction course.

The RPL assessments are designed for those people currently working within the building and construction industry as carpenters and want to be assessed for the qualification based on their current experience and skill levels.

Following an initial interview with one of our assessors who will discuss with you your building industry experiences, including the types of projects that you have worked on, what your roles were and who you were employed by, you will complete a self assessment guide which will provide an indication of how your current experience matches the qualification.

In brief, the assessment will consist of workplace visits and observations and participating in competency conversations with your assessor were you will discuss the different aspects of each unit of competency in a bid to identify your current level of underpinning knowledge. It will also involve the gathering of evidence to show you have experience in the practical aspects of each unit of competency. This evidence will be outlined in the RPL Assessment Manual.

The RPL process does not have a minimum time frame, although the average time taken to gather the required evidence and conduct the assessment will generally be around three to six months.

Remember, the quicker you collect and submit all required evidence to your assessor the quicker the assessment can be completed and your qualification issued.
