Conditions

• Duration in months, based on full-time employment 48 - First year building apprentices who hold a Certificate II in Construction (CPC20112) (or equivalent) or Certificate II in Construction Pathways (CPC20211) (or equivalent) are eligible for 6 months credit for this qualification.
• Available Part-time No
• Notes This qualification has been replaced. On 22 December 2020, the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) agreed to extend the transition period of 25 qualifications from the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package, including this qualification, until 27 November 2022. --- Recently Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) approved the extended transition for CPC32413 Certificate III in Plumbing qualification to 31 January 2024. ASQA consulted Victorian Registration and Qualification Authority (VRQA) and Training Accreditation Council Western Australia (TAC WA) for this extended transition request. The decision was made on 23 August 2022 with support from Artibus Innovation in their role as the Skills Service Organisation; Construction, Plumbing and Services Industry Reference Committee; Plumbing and Fire Protection Industry representatives and feedback received from ASQA registered RTOs currently delivering the CPC32413 Certificate III in Plumbing. It was demonstrated to ASQA that learners would be genuinely disadvantaged if they were required to transition to the replacement qualification as the significance of change would not provide the expected learning outcome for existing learners. This extension is granted to all ASQA registered training organisations (RTOs) delivering the CPC32413 Certificate III in Plumbing qualification to 31 January 2024. The decision extends the transition period for ASQA registered RTOs to continue training assessment and issue Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) certification. The CPC32413 Certificate III in Plumbing qualification will remain on ASQA registered RTOs scope of registration until the end of the extended transition period unless the RTO chooses to withdraw it from scope prior. ASQA will publish this decision on its website. If you have any questions about this decision, please contact transitionrequest@asqa.gov.au
