Scoping Study for the CPC08 Plumbing & Services Qualifications and the CPP07 Fire Protection Inspection & Testing Qualifications
Draft Proposal for the redesign of CPC32413 Certificate III in Plumbing and Services
At the National Plumbing and Services Continuous Improvement Reference Group (NPSCIRG) meeting held on May 1, 2015 it was agreed to seek wider stakeholder feedback on the following proposed changes to CPC32413 Certificate III in Plumbing and Services:
embed common units rewrite and rebadge 2000 units as 3000 (where possible) rationalise packaging rules and unit listings, where logical – including change to mechanical core add LPG units and other recommended ‘incomings’ or missing competencies. remove suggested ‘unwanted’ competencies – but allow for ‘drawing in’ as required.
Table 1, following, shows all of the units listed in the existing qualification
This table also includes a column listing the proposed treatment of units based on the decisions taken by the project governance groups (NPSCIRG and NFIRG) including input to the initial project survey from industry practitioners and VET stakeholders.
Following the table is the proposed structure of the DRAFT redesigned qualification – based on Table 1.
Note STP = Standards for Training Packages
Feedback has been received from both the ABCB and the VBA that increased specificity regarding regulatory compliance is required across all units i.e. references to: NCC, PCA and AS.

2 comments to add to relevant units – one comment suggested adding to ‘non-ferrous’ unit
Hydro excavation Is a new unit required? 1 comment – this work probably sub-contracted
There are numerous new products and tools commonly used in industry today which are not included in the training package. Pex piping systems, new methods of copper jointing are just a few examples.
