B. Description of work and request for approval

This Case for Endorsement presents evidence of broad-based industry support for the proposed training package components as outlined in the Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy. This Case for Endorsement responds to the policy to align Training Package components to the Standards for Training Packages 2012. In complying with this policy, Artibus Innovation established an open and inclusive consultative approach with industry and key stakeholders through the developmental stages and final validation of the project. The consultation approach aimed to gather industry feedback from a range of stakeholders to ensure the Training Package components met industry expectations and skilling requirements.

Feedback was sought from:

• safe work regulators

• industry contractors

• technical experts through the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) and working groups

• peak industry associations

• the Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC

• other IRCs impacted by the activity

• registered training organisations (RTOs).

This Case for Endorsement also responds to the activity order to review and update the eleven HRWL units:

• CPCCLDG3001A Licence to perform dogging

• CPCCLHS3001A Licence to operate a personnel and materials hoist

• CPCCLHS3002A Licence to operate a materials hoist

• CPCCLRG3001A Licence to perform rigging basic level

• CPCCLRG3002A Licence to perform rigging intermediate level

• CPCCLRG4001A Licence to perform rigging advanced level

• CPCCLSF2001A Licence to erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding basic level

• CPCCLSF3001A Licence to erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding intermediate level

• CPCCLSF4001A Licence to erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding advanced level

• CPCCLTC4001A Licence to operate a tower crane

• CPCCLTC4002A Licence to operate a self-erecting tower crane. This review was undertaken in the context of the high-risk work qualifications in the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package, including:

• CPC30511 Certificate III in Dogging

• CPC30711 Certificate III in Rigging

• CPC30911 Certificate III in Scaffolding

• CPC31111 Certificate III in Steelfixing

• CPC32912 Certificate III in Construction Crane Operations.

The project commenced in August 2016 as a response to the Strategic Industry Audit (SIA) into Units of Competency that lead to High Risk Work Licences in Western Australia produced for


the Western Australian Training Accreditation Council in March 2016. The SIA Report identified a high level of non-compliance by RTOs in the delivery of these units and highlighted the need for the units to be expressed as clearly and concisely as possible to encourage high-quality and consistent training and assessment. A meeting was held with Safe Work Australia in September 2016 to discuss the relationship between the eleven HRWL units and the Safe Work Australia national assessment instruments (NAIs) for high risk work licensing. A key factor in the discussion was alignment between the NAIs and the HRWL units. The finalisation of this project is timely because one of the activities that Safe Work Australia is committed to undertake in 2019–2020 in support of strategies outlined in the Safe Work Australia Corporate Plan 2019–2023 is ‘finalising the review of the National Assessment Instruments for high risk work licensing’. A TAG was established in February 2017 to oversee the development and update of the eleven HRWL units and to provide key advice about the Safe Work Australia NAIs. The TAG was later approved by the IRC to oversee the review of the five high risk work qualifications. The project combined two activity orders to:

• update the eleven HRWL units of competency to the Standards for Training Packages 2012

• ensure that these units of competency and their assessment requirements provide clear and concise information that could underpin consistent and high-quality training and assessment provided by RTOs.

Project page

With the commencement of the project, a project page was developed on the Artibus Innovation website. The project page was kept updated throughout the duration of the project. It provided stakeholders with information about national forums, workshops, the status of the project and opportunities to provide input into draft components. The project page received 1,865 page views.

Technical advisory group establishment

The Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC endorsed the TAG established for the review of the eleven HRWL units and the five high risk work qualifications, to provide strategic input on, and oversight of, the review of these Training Package components throughout the project.

TAG membership included representatives of employers, employees, industry associations, training providers, businesses and regulators.

TAG membership:

Subject matter experts were also included for the review of scaffolding components:

• Adam Oswald, K.J. Industrial Scaffolding Pty Ltd, NSW

• Michael Stewart, Cogent Scaffolding, QLD.

The TAG met either in person or by videoconference eight times to analyse the existing Training Package components, identify areas for improvement and develop draft components. At each meeting the TAG reviewed and discussed industry feedback and agreed on amendments to the Training Package components to ensure they reflected industry needs.

Industry consultation was key in guiding the TAG in its recommendations, this was informed by forums and industry surveys at key stages of the development.

CPC31120 Certificate III in Steelfixing.

KC8

At its meeting in November 2019 the Construction IRC reasoned that the addition of the CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry unit of competency to the core of the qualifications did not change the equivalency status as the job outcomes are unchanged.

IRC Consultation The Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC was appointed by the AISC to represent the industry and is made up of people with experience, skills and knowledge of the construction industry. The role of the IRC is to ensure that the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package meets the needs of employers. The IRC is the formal point through which industry requirements for skills are considered and defined in the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package. Membership of the IRC and consultation methodology is available at Appendix B. In April 2019, the Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC recommended the inclusion of the unit CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry as an entry requirement for specific qualifications in the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package. This approach was rejected by the AISC at the August 2019 meeting. Considering this rejection, the IRC determined that because the ASIC would not support CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry as an entry requirement for qualifications, then this unit should be included in the core of the high risk work qualifications to ensure all graduates of the high risk work qualifications achieve this unit of competency . This change of approach was discussed at national forums and webinars held in November 2019. The findings of the forums and webinars is available at Appendix C.

Industry surveys

At key junctures, industry surveys were distributed to receive feedback and advice on the draft components. Six industry surveys were published to enable industry stakeholders a platform to provide feedback on the development of the training package components throughout the different consultative stages of the project. The surveys were made available publicly on the Artibus Innovation website to offer opportunities for interested parties to participate. TAG members also encouraged their networks to participate. Respondents were able to download the draft materials and provide feedback on the qualifications and individual units of competency. The feedback through the surveys covered:

• units applicable to the core of the qualifications and any missing skills or knowledge

• units applicable to the elective lists of the qualifications and any missing skills or knowledge

• the opportunity to comment on proposed new units and how well they meet industry needs.

Further to this, feedback on the packaging of the qualifications was considered by the TAG. The packaging rules of each qualification were amended to reflect industry’s feedback on what the most suitable packaging would be to address required skills and knowledge.


State/Territory Training Authorities

Active consultation with State/Territory Training Authorities (STAs) was established at the commencement of the project. Ongoing STA feedback was key in addressing the impact of the endorsed components on industry and enterprises. Consultation with the STAs and key regulator and industry stakeholders was vital in assessing the currency of qualifications and units of competency, and ensuring the quality and relevance of these Training Package components.

Summary of industry consultation and feedback

In May 2017, a round of national forums was held to discuss the Training Package components and to seek industry input on the first draft of the qualifications and units of competency. These forums were also complemented by one-on-one meetings with industry stakeholders who could not attend the forums.

*See Appendix A: Industry Stakeholders for a list of attendees.

The following feedback from these forums was noted:

• a Certificate III qualification in high risk work, which was proposed in the early stages

of the project, was not supported by the vast majority of stakeholders

• for the CPC30711 Certificate III in Rigging:

o combine dogging and rigging qualifications

o whether 'soft skill' units should be removed from the qualification

o consider entertainment rigging

o add a risk management unit to the qualification

• for the CPC30911 Certificate III in Scaffolding:

o needs a residential and commercial stream to ensure relevance



• for the CPC31111 Certificate III in Steelfixing:



o new unit/s are required to cover identified skills gap

• for specific HRWL units, stakeholders:

o raised concerns over the lack of quality and the short timeframes associated

with training and assessment for these units and strongly supported the return

to logbooks or some other mechanism

o suggested a number of items of equipment that are incorrectly placed within

licensing units that needed review

o noted a number of items of equipment that are out of date and need to be

removed from the units.

Following this round of national consultation, the TAG held numerous meetings and robust discussions on the feedback on the qualifications and HRWL units throughout 2017 and 2018. Feedback was sought at key project milestones through industry surveys, distributed through newsletters and via IRC networks. In total six industry surveys were distributed yielding 131 responses. Each response was recorded in the project register, and reviewed and responded to by the TAG at each meeting. See Appendix A for a full list of respondents. The Training Package components were put out for industry validation from 4 June 2019 to 18 June 2019.

D. Industry expectations about training delivery

Advice about industry expectations of training delivery

The proposed Training Package components have been updated to align with the Standards for Training Packages 2012. The four proposed qualifications supersede and are equivalent to their preceding qualifications. The proposed units of competency supersede and are equivalent to their preceding units of competency. The impact of the changes of the proposed endorsed Training Package components is as follows:

• RTOs will be notified by training.gov.au of the changes in the units of competency and their

assessment requirements, and the qualifications

• RTOs will be required to adapt all aspects of training and assessment in structure and

content to reflect the changes in the units of competency and assessment requirements.

RTOs can expect a series of changes. RTOs will be required to:

• assess and implement the mandatory delivery and assessment requirements specified in the

endorsed Training Package components

• adjust their training and assessment strategies

• review their delivery and assessment resources

• address and enhance supporting material and resources to align with the assessment

requirements.

IRC recommendation on traineeships and apprenticeships

The IRC has suggested these qualifications are suitable for traineeships rather than apprenticeships as they are not trades.


E. Implementation of the new training package components

Advice on occupational and licensing requirements

High risk work is subject to licensing across all jurisdictions. The proposed endorsed Training Package components are aligned to regulatory and jurisdictional occupational and licensing requirements. The eleven HRWL units of competency are subject to different licensing and regulatory requirements across state and territory jurisdictions.

Implementation issues of note and strategy for management

Industry can expect an upskilled workforce that meets industry demands. The skills and knowledge embedded in the units of competency will support consistency in national training and assessment. Industry can, therefore, expect consistent learner outcomes. The endorsed Training Package components have been developed to align with the Standards for Training Packages 2012 and support the approach of the Standards to develop qualifications that are accessible in content, format and logic. The internal consistency across units of competency, in relation to the intention of the units and their specific job outcomes, facilitates training and assessment. Job roles for the new training components are:

• CPC30720 Certificate III in Rigging: o Rigger o Dogger

• CPC30920 Certificate III in Scaffolding: o Scaffolder

• CPC31120 Certificate III in Steelfixing: o Steelfixer

• CPC32920 Certificate III in Construction Crane Operations: o Licensed Crane Operator.

The impact for enterprises is expected to be a positive one. The proposed endorsed training Package components will provide enterprises with a workforce that can apply relevant skills and knowledge within and across sectors. By aligning the proposed endorsed Training Package components to the Standards for Training Packages 2012, industry and enterprises will also have a clearer basis for improved training and assessment. The proposed endorsed Training Package components meet the requirements of the Standards for Training Packages 2012 and have been uploaded in pre-publishing mode onto the National Register through the Training Package Content Management System (TPCMS).

Advice on downstream effects of the changes

As has been anticipated by Safe Work Australia, their NAIs will need to be updated to reflect the changes proposed in the eleven HRWL units.

Confirmation that the draft training package components are publication-ready

I believe that the draft Training Package components I have seen, prior to the quality audit process, were publication-ready at that time. Unless I see the draft Training Package components before submission to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC,) I am not in a position to confirm their state at any point in the future.

2. Content and structure

Units of competency

Editorial requirements Comments

Standard 5: The structure of units of competency complies with the unit of competency template.

The structure of the thirty-four revised units of competency complies with the unit of competency template:

• all mandatory fields are used

• the prerequisite unit optional field is used when required by industry; one prerequisite unit features predominantly across a number of the units – CPCCWHS2001 Apply WHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry

• the competency field optional field is only used to reference the competency field of licensing.

Standard 7: Every unit of competency has associated assessment requirements. The structure of assessment requirements complies with the assessment requirements template.

Every unit of competency has associated assessment requirements and the structure of these assessment requirements complies with the assessment requirements template. The assessment requirements specify performance evidence, knowledge evidence and assessment conditions. Assessment can be conducted in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment. The licensing units are linked to regulatory requirements and state that: ‘Only assessors who are accredited in the licence class by the appropriate WHS regulator for the jurisdiction governing the licence are permitted to conduct the final high-risk work licence assessment. The final licence assessment will only be undertaken with candidates who have completed training and been formally assessed against all elements in this unit.’ Resources required for assessment are outlined in the Assessment Conditions.


Qualifications

Editorial requirements Comments by the editor

Standard 9: The structure of the information for qualifications complies with the qualification template.

Generally, the structure of the information for the four AQF qualifications complies with the qualification template. All mandatory fields are used. The qualification template states that under the packaging rules, the qualification: ‘Lists all core and elective unit codes and titles, including prerequisite units where they apply.’ (page 6 of the Standards for Training Packages 2012) Under the packaging rules for the four qualifications, the following is provided: ‘Prerequisite units of competency An asterisk (*) against a unit code below indicates that there is a prerequisite requirement that must be met. Prerequisite unit/s must be assessed before assessment of any unit of competency with an asterisk. All prerequisite requirements are packaged in the qualification.’ It is my opinion that the ‘structure of the information for qualifications’ does not comply with the qualification template because the prerequisite units that apply are not listed, they are only identified by an asterisk and there is no evidence that they are available in the qualification other than the statement ‘All prerequisite requirements are packaged in the qualification.’ The reader is expected to trust the SSO on this point. This opinion has been provided to the SSO.

Standard 10: Credit arrangements existing between Training Package qualifications and Higher Education qualifications are listed in a format that complies with the credit arrangements template.

Artibus Innovation has provided a document that indicates that at the time of endorsement, no credit arrangements exist between the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0 qualification and higher education qualifications.

Companion Volumes


Standard 11: A quality assured companion volume implementation guide is available and complies with the companion volume implementation guide template.

Artibus Innovation has produced a Companion Volume Implementation Guide for the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0, which will be available at the time of endorsement. This Guide has undergone internal and external editing and proofreading processes and complies with the Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG) template.

Section 2 – Equity checklist of draft training package components

Equity requirements Equity reviewer comments Provide brief commentary on whether the draft endorsed

components meet each of the equity requirements

The training package component(s) comply with Standard 2 of the Standards for Training Packages 2012. The standard requires compliance with the Training Package Products Policy, specifically with the access and equity requirements:

• Training Package developers must meet their obligations under Commonwealth anti-discrimination legislation and associated standards and regulations.

• Training Package developers must ensure that Training Packages are flexible and that they provide guidance and recommendations to enable reasonable adjustments in implementation.

In terms of access and equity, the NSSC Training Package Products Policy states:

• ‘Training Package developers, and the National Skills Standards

Council (NSSC) in endorsing Training Packages, must meet their

obligations under Commonwealth anti-discrimination legislation

and associated standards and regulations.

• Training Package developers must ensure that Training Packages

are flexible and that they provide guidance and

recommendations to enable reasonable adjustments in

implementation.’

I have not had access to the Training Package developer’s policies and procedures so, consequently, I can neither confirm nor deny the following:

• ‘Training Package developers must meet their obligations under

Commonwealth anti-discrimination legislation and associated

standards and regulations’.

And I am not sure where I would need to start and what I would need to do to make a comment about this incredibly expansive statement. The NSSC Training Package Products Policy does not define flexibility. It would appear to me that the Training Package developers have followed the required development, consultation and endorsement processes, and have supported industry involvement in ensuring that the training products being submitted for endorsement reflect the flexibility industry has told them it requires for its vocational education and training (VET) products. To me, this is confirmed by the Construction, Plumbing and Services Industry Reference Committee (IRC) supporting the submission of the Training Package components put forward in the Case for Endorsement (CfE) and the signing of this support by the appointed Deputy Chair of the Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC, Alan Waldron. Reference to reasonable adjustment can be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide for the for the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0. This text discusses ‘reasonable adjustment’ in the context of the Disability Standards for Education 2005 and refers Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to this document as well as the Disability Standards for Education Guidance Notes, for further information.


Section 3 – Training Package Quality Principles

Quality Principle 4 Be flexible to meet the diversity of individual and employer needs, including the capacity to adapt to changing job roles and workplaces.

Key features Do the units of competency meet the diversity of individual and employer needs and support equitable access and progression of learners? What evidence demonstrates that the units of competency and their associated assessment requirements are clearly written and have consistent breadth and depth so that they support implementation across a range of settings? Are there other examples that demonstrate how the key features of flexibility are being achieved?

Equity requirements Equity reviewer comments

1. What evidence demonstrates that the draft components provide flexible qualifications/units of competency that enable application in different contexts?’

The draft qualifications support flexibility in their design in that:

• they use a core and elective model

• units have been imported from other Training Packages as

required, including the:

o BSB Business Services Training Package

o RII Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training

Package

o TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package

• units have been imported from other CPC Construction,

Plumbing and Services Training Package qualifications

• the packaging rules allow for ‘up to’ a stated number of

elective units to be selected from any currently endorsed

Training Package qualification or accredited course.

2. Is there evidence of multiple entry and exit points?

As per policy, learners who exit before achieving the qualification will receive statements of attainment for any units achieved.

3. Have prerequisite units of competency been minimised where possible?

Again, I am assuming that by supporting and signing off on the draft Training Package products, industry is confident that the prerequisite units as specified are essential. So, if one’s definition of minimising prerequisite units where possible is to only have prerequisite units that are essential, then yes, this has been achieved.

4. Are there other examples of evidence that demonstrate how the key features of the flexibility principle are being achieved?

The CVIG covers access and equity considerations, and reasonable adjustments, and explains how the units of competency comply with the foundation skills field in the template.


Quality Principle 5

Facilitate recognition of an individual’s skills and knowledge and support movement between the school, vocational education and higher education sectors.

Key features Support learner transition between education sectors.


1. What evidence demonstrates pathways from entry and preparatory level as appropriate to facilitate movement between schools and VET, from entry level into work, and between VET and higher education qualifications?

The units of competency include foundation skills and support equitable access and progression of learners by:

• allowing direct entry

• facilitating occupational pathways in the sector.

The CVIG also provides information about:

• qualification pathways in the industry

• qualifications suitable for apprenticeship

pathways – supporting movement from entry-

level into work.

These four qualifications do not support movement between VET and higher education qualifications.

Quality Principle 6

Support interpretation by training providers and others through the use of simple, concise language and clear articulation of assessment requirements.

Key features Support implementation across a range of settings and support sound assessment practices.


1. Does the Companion Volume Implementation Guide include advice about:

• Pathways

• Access and equity

• Foundation skills? (see Training Package Standard 11)

As already stated, the CVIG includes text about pathways, access and equity, and foundation skills. It is my opinion that the units of competency and their assessment requirements are based on information provided by industry and are clearly written. The assessment requirements are also specific about what competency looks like in the workplace. The intended target audience is specified in the Application. While not a member of that audience, it is my opinion that the content would be relevant to that audience because it appears to be comprehensive, has been guided by extensive involvement of the technical advisory group (TAG) and has been signed-off by the IRC.

2. Are the foundation skills explicit and recognisable within the training package and do they reflect and not exceed the

The foundation skills field in the units of competency states:

• ‘Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in

the performance criteria of this unit of competency. ‘


foundation skills required in the workplace?

or

• ‘This section describes the language, literacy, numeracy

and employment skills essential to performance in this

unit but not explicit in the performance criteria:’

and then lists these skills under appropriate lead-in statements, such as:

• reading skills to …

• writing skills to …

• numeracy skills to …

• communication and teamwork skills to …

This answers a very different question to the one asked in this report template i.e. are the foundation skills explicit and recognisable within the training package and do they reflect and not exceed the foundation skills required in the workplace (with my emphasis)? To answer this question the Training Package developers would need to have based their processes on this question at the beginning of the development process. And I can neither confirm nor deny that his happened, not being involved with the project at the time. ‘Recognisable within the training package’ could mean within the unit of competency, the elements, and/or within the assessment requirements i.e. performance evidence and/or knowledge evidence. The question is broader than just the performance criteria, which is the only aspect of the unit of competency referred to in the text provided in the Standards for Training Packages 2012. So, focusing on the performance criteria only, there are examples of the foundation skills being explicit and recognisable where they are not specifically stated in the foundation skills field. For example, CPCCLDG3001 Licence to perform dogging covers a range of foundation skills through the following:

• PC1.1 Review task instructions, seek clarification as

required, and obtain relevant workplace information.

• PC1.2 Obtain all information, including safe work method

statement (SWMS), required to ensure that activities are

performed in compliance with workplace-specific and safe

work requirements.

o workers need reading skills to review written task

instructions

o SWMSs are written documents and need to be

read by workers before undertaking tasks

• PC1.5 Calculate load weight, dimensions and centre of

gravity.

o Workers need literacy skills to make calculations.


• PC1.8 Establish communication methods with plant

operator.

• PC 4.4 Use communication methods to coordinate the

load movement, both in and out of sight of the plant

operator.

o Workers need communication and teamwork skills

to make this happen.

As to whether or not the foundation skills reflect and do not exceed the foundation skills required in the workplace, the only evidence I have that this is correct is developer advice that the TAG members involved throughout the review and development process had close and direct input in describing the nature and scope of foundation skills ‘essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria’, and industry sign-off by the IRC.

• undertaking the Equity and/or Editorial Reports for the training package products that are the subject of this quality report (YES)

Confirmation of the Training Packages or components thereof being compliant with the Standards for Training Packages 2012

The Training Package components in the Case for Endorsement comprising four revised qualifications and 34 revised units of competency and their associated assessment requirements as part of the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package 5.0 are compliant with the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Confirmation of the Training Packages or components thereof being compliant with the Training Package Products Policy

The Training Package components in the Case for Endorsement are compliant with the Training Package Products Policy.

Confirmation of the Training Packages or components thereof being compliant with the Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy

The Training Package components in the Case for Endorsement are compliant with the Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy.

Panel member’s view about whether:

• the evidence of consultation and validation process being fit for purpose and commensurate with the scope

• estimated impact of the proposed changes is sufficient and convincing

The CfE outlines the consultation and validation processes undertaken, including the establishment of a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to oversee the project, industry forums held, and industry surveys conducted. It advises that key stakeholders were kept informed throughout the project and provided with opportunities to provide feedback and validation. These processes are fit for purpose and are commensurate with the scope of the project. The estimated impact of changes has been identified in the Case for Endorsement. As the draft qualifications and all units of competency are, per the CfE, equivalent to previous versions, minimal downstream effects for training and assessment are expected. QA has questioned the equivalency of CPC30711 Certificate III in Rigging with CPC30720 given the superseded qualification can be achieved with no rigging or dogging electives. However as ‘credit’ and licencing is at unit of competency level this


may have been identified by the IRC in their deliberations of equivalency. Two qualification are proposed for deletion with 2018 enrolments in the Certificate III in Dogging, but limited corresponding completions suggesting the inclusion of the dogging units in the combined Certificate III in Rigging and Dogging may impact RTOs with current enrolments but enable transition to the revised industry approved qualification. The CfE indicates direct consultation with Safe Work Australia and of their awareness of the need to update National Assessment Instruments (NIAs) for the 11 HRWL units, although it is not confirmed whether these instruments will be ready at time of endorsement and there is no specific information in the components themselves or CVIG about their use with the endorsed components, although they are additional to the endorsed components of the national framework.

Section 2 – Compliance with the Standards for Training Packages 2012 Standards for Training Packages

Standard met ‘yes’ or ‘no’

Evidence supporting the statement of compliance or noncompliance (including evidence from equity and editorial reports)

Standard 1 Training Packages consist of the following:

• AISC endorsed components:

• qualifications

• units of competency

• assessment requirements (associated with each unit of competency)

• credit arrangements

• One or more quality assured companion volumes

Yes The proposed components of the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Version 5.0 do meet the requirements of Standard 1. The Training Package components in the Case for Endorsement (CfE) include: four revised qualifications, and 34 revised units of competency, each with associated assessment requirements. The CfE specifies that no credit arrangements exist for the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package (CPC) qualifications at the time of development. A Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG) was provided and quality assured in this process.

Standard 2 Training Package developers comply with the Training Package Products Policy

Yes Artibus Innovation has complied with the requirements of the Standards for Training Packages 2012 for the four revised qualifications, as well as the 34 revised units of competency, including:

• Coding and titling of qualifications and units of competency. Feedback was provided to the developers in relation to titling of units where various level of skill is required (for example, Licence to perform rigging intermediate level compared with ‘perform intermediate rigging’ noting that ‘the rigging’ itself is not intermediate – the operator skill level is)

• Explicit inclusion of foundation skills where not specifically implicit in the performance criteria

Where prerequisite units apply to core or elective units in qualifications, the packaging rules enable these and units which require prerequisites are identified with *, with users referred to individual units to confirm prerequisite requirement. The QA process has confirmed that all prerequisite units are included in the qualifications.


The CVIG includes information about reasonable adjustment to ensure learners with disabilities or particular needs have equal access.

Standard 3 Training Package developers comply with the AISC Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy

Yes The CfE provides information about Artibus Innovation’s development processes, including consultation and validation, of the draft components, including alignment to and compliance with ASIC’s Activity Order. The CfE outlines details of the IRC endorsed Technical Advisory Group (TAG) membership and meeting discussions, one on one and workshop participants and opportunities via the website information and surveys to provide feedback.

Standard 4 Units of competency specify the standards of performance required in the workplace

Yes All units of competency have been reviewed to ensure they specify the standards of performance required in the workplace. Some feedback provided in initial quality assurance has been incorporated in the components. The qualification description in all four qualifications specify that they ‘provide(s) a trade outcome’, however in the CfE the IRC recommendation on traineeships and apprenticeships states IRC suggestion that ‘these qualifications are suitable for traineeships rather than apprenticeships as they are not trades’.

Standard 5 The structure of units of competency complies with the unit of competency template

Yes The structure of all 34 revised units of competency comply with the unit of competency template.

Standard 6 Assessment requirements specify the evidence and required conditions for assessment

Yes All Assessment requirements associated with the units of competency specify the performance evidence and knowledge evidence to be demonstrated for assessment, along with required conditions for assessment. Detailed reference to volume and or frequency of Performance Evidence is stated. Assessment Conditions in relation to how evidence may be gathered, provision of necessary resources for meeting assessment requirements and assessor requirements have been included within the units of competency.


Standard 7 Every unit of competency has associated assessment requirements. The structure of assessment requirements complies with the assessment requirements template

Yes All units of competency have associated assessment requirements, the structures of which comply with the assessment requirements template and the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Standard 8 Qualifications comply with the Australian Qualifications Framework specification for that qualification type

Yes The initial quality assurance process raised questions about the AQF alignment of, for example CPC31120 Certificate III in Steelfixing where, whilst units of competency do not have an AQF level, according to the CVIG, ‘the four numbers identify the indicative AQF level’ - of 15 core units in CPC31120, 14 of the 15 are at indicative levels 1 and 2 (5 units at an indicative AQF level 1, 8 units at an indicative AQF level 2 and only 1 unit is at an indicative AQF level 3). Further, the packaging rules require 2 units from the elective list which includes a further 5 units at an indicative AQF level 2 – which effectively means a person could achieve the qualification with only 1 indicative AQF level 3 unit. And at best a maximum of 4 of 18 at a minimum indicative level 3. Developer advised in response to question raised in the initial QA process about the inclusion of ‘licence to’ and ‘perform’ units (which vary significantly in detail, and where qualification packaging rules do not restrict duplicating licence to and perform units) that there were discussions to delete the perform units, but because they are used in other sectors, the approach was to retain the units as electives in the qualification. The TAG and IRC approval of these components in the CfE following QA concerns raised assumes industry/developer agreement/acceptance that the AQF specifications for the qualification type within this industry are met as they have been presented.

Standard 9 The structure of the information for the Australian Qualifications Framework qualification complies with the qualification template

Yes The structure of the information for the four qualifications complies with the qualification template.


Standard 10 Credit arrangements existing between Training Package qualifications and Higher Education qualifications are listed in a format that complies with the credit arrangements template

Yes The CfE indicates that no national credit arrangements exist at this time for any of the proposed qualifications.

Standard 11 A quality assured companion volume implementation guide produced by the Training Package developer is available at the time of endorsement and complies with the companion volume implementation guide template.

Yes A Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG) has been produced and will be available at the time of endorsement. The CVIG complies with the relevant template and has been edited by a member of the QA panel, and further quality assured in this process.

Standard 12 Training Package developers produce other quality assured companion volumes to meet the needs of their stakeholders as required.

N/A


Section 3 – Compliance with the training package quality principles Note: not all training package quality principles might be applicable to every training package or its components. Please provide a supporting statement/evidence of compliance or non-compliance against each principle. Quality principle 1. Reflect identified workforce outcomes

Key features Quality principle is met: Yes / No or N/A

Evidence demonstrating compliance/non-compliance with the quality principle Please see examples of evidence in the Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy

Driven by industry’s needs Yes The CfE indicates the review of the components commenced in 2016 in response to a report by the WA Training Accreditation Council (Strategic Industry Audit into Units of Competency that lead to High Risk Work Licences in Western Australia) identifying a high level of non-compliance by RTOs in the delivery of the units, resulting in a business case to the AISC which was approved in 2017 - in which case the initial driver for the project is RTO regulator concern about the implementation practices by RTOs rather than industry needs. However, the CfE notes the work on the 11 HRWL units was then combined with a review of the high-risk work qualifications to transition all components to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012 with involvement of industry.

Compliant and responds to government policy initiatives. Training package component responds to the COAG Industry and Skills Council’s (CISC) training package-related initiatives or directions, in particular the 2015 training package reforms. Please specify which of the following CISC reforms are relevant to the training product and identify supporting evidence: ensure obsolete and superfluous qualifications

Yes The endorsed components respond to the COAG Industry and Skills Council’s (CISC) training package reforms, specifically: ensure obsolete and superfluous qualifications are removed from the system The Case for Endorsement proposes deletion of two qualifications: CPC31712 Certificate III in Post-tensioning, with the incorporation of CPCCSF post-tensioning units into the Steelfixing qualification; and CPC30511 Certificate III in Dogging, with the incorporation of dogging units into the revised CPC30720 Certificate III in Rigging ensure that more information about industry’s expectations of training delivery is available to training providers to improve their delivery and to consumers to enable more informed course choices


are removed from the system. Ensure that more information about industry’s expectations of training delivery is available to training providers to improve their delivery and to consumers to enable more informed course choices. Ensure that the training system better supports individuals to move easily from one related occupation to another. Improve the efficiency of the training system by creating units that can be owned and used by multiple industry sectors. Foster greater recognition of skill sets.

The review of the ‘Licence to’ units in high risk work has more clearly articulated training delivery and assessment requirements to increase consistency of outcomes between providers, and consultation with Safe Work Australia to improve alignment between the units of competency and the Safe Work Australia national assessment instruments (NAI) is intended to further improve provider delivery to meet industry expectations.

Reflect contemporary work organisation and job profiles incorporating a future orientation

Yes The CfE indicates that the proposed components reflect industry skilling and training expectations and that the packaging rules have been updated to reflect workforce outcomes.

Quality principle 2: Support portability of skills and competencies including reflecting licensing and

regulatory requirements


Evidence demonstrating compliance with the quality principle Please see examples of evidence in the Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy


Support movement of skills within and across organisations and sectors.

Yes The use of common CPC units of competency across qualifications, the incorporation of imported units from TLI and RII Training Packages in elective options, as well as packaging rules which enable import of one (two in Crane Operations) support movement of skills within and across organisations and sectors. Assessment allows for application across a range of contexts.

Promote national and international portability.

Yes Proposed endorsed components promote and reference national standards (National Construction Code (NCC)) as well as legislation and or Codes of Practice in general (‘applicable Commonwealth, state or territory legislation, standards and codes of practice and codes of practice where applicable’) but not specifically.

Reflect regulatory requirements and licensing.

Yes The CfE identifies that HRW is subject to differing licencing requirements across jurisdictions and statements referring users to check with relevant regulatory authorities before delivery is included in all relevant components.

Quality principle 3: Reflect national agreement about the core transferable skills and core job-specific skills required for job roles as identified by industry



Reflect national consensus. Yes Based on the information provided in the CfE, it is believed these components reflect national consensus. The CfE details the national consultation process providing stakeholders with opportunities to participate conducted from May to July 2017 via a number of communication channels (direct engagement via forums and one-on-one meetings) with information and feedback considered by the established Technical Advisory Group (TAG) in a series of meetings in 2017 and 2018. The CfE indicates that the eleven specific HRWL units were sent to regulators for comment in 2018, with online validation open for stakeholder for two weeks in June 2019. It is noted that the TAG had four meetings subsequent to the validation period, to consider feedback received.

Recognise convergence and connectivity of skills.

Yes Units listed in the qualifications include units from other nationally endorsed training packages where appropriate (HLT, TLI, RII, and BSB)


Quality principle 4: Be flexible to meet the diversity of individual and employer needs including the capacity to adapt to changing job roles and workplaces



Meet the diversity of individual and employer needs.

Yes All of the revised qualifications enable elective options to meet individual and employer needs.

Support equitable access and progression of learners.

Yes The CfE outlines the IRC’s decision in relation to the inclusion of unit CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry (the current training and assessment required by the General construction induction card, or White Card) as a core unit in all Certificate I to III qualifications. Only five of the 34 units do not have a prerequisite requirement. Of the 29 units which do, 23 have the same prerequisite (CPCCWHS2001 Apply WHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry) and a number of HRWL units have the preceding skill ‘level’ unit as a prerequisite. All prerequisite units are packaged in the qualification.

Quality principle 5: Facilitate recognition of an individual’s skills and knowledge and support movement between the school, vocational education and higher education sectors



Support learner transition between education sectors

Yes The CfE indicates no credit arrangements exist for the components at the time of endorsement, The inclusion of basic, intermediate and advanced skills in HRW supports pathways from entry level work to more advanced skills.


Quality principle 6: Support interpretation by training providers and others through the use of simple, concise language and clear articulation of assessment requirements



Support implementation across a range of settings.

Yes Flexibility of packaging rules within the qualifications support implementation across a range of settings. Implementation advice is contained in the CVIG.

Support sound assessment practice.

Yes The draft Units of Competency and associated Assessment Requirements include references to volume and frequency of Performance Evidence and include Assessment Conditions specifying necessary resources, equipment and allowable contexts for assessment.

Support implementation. Yes

G. Implementation of the COAG Industry and Skills Council

reforms to training packages

Supporting COAG Industry Skills Council reforms to training packages

The decision being sought from the AISC will support the COAG Industry and Skills Council (CISC) reforms to training packages by endorsing components that have been developed to ensure they reflect the following principles:

Principle Evidence

1. Remove obsolete and superfluous qualifications from the system.

The qualifications have been updated against industry feedback to reflect current and emerging workforce outcomes. This update included deleting CPC30511 Certificate III in Dogging and moving its dogger job outcome along with its related units to the revised CPC30720 Certificate III in Rigging.

2. Make more information about industry’s expectations of training delivery available.

The packaging rules of the qualifications are clearly written and conform to the AQF requirements that support the objective of national portability. The HRWL units will assist in the Safe work Australia review of the NAIs. The qualifications and units of competency also reference, where relevant, Australian Standards and Codes which serves to ensure portability and industry-wide relevance.

3. Ensure the training system better supports individuals to move easily from one related occupation to another.

The qualifications have been designed to strengthen the AQF alignment to offer pathways into the industry and beyond.

4. Improve the efficiency of the training system at unit level.

The units have been developed to ensure applicability across a range of workplaces. The units were developed with close consideration for Safe Work Australia’s NAIs, as well as relevant sections of the Australian Standards and the National Construction Code (NCC).

Appendix B: IRC consultation methodology

The Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC members advise that each uses a multitude of different communication strategies and methodologies to engage with their members and stakeholders to provide feedback on matters relating to training package development.

Each industry occupation and qualification presents with a unique set of conditions that involve deliberation and discussion about how best to engage in order to maximise industry feedback and response.

The IRC members work closely with countless stakeholders from all levels of the Australian construction industry, which they represent very broadly, to achieve a workable compromise in all qualifications. The majority of IRC members represent national associations who each have state and territory networks and formal training development committee structures that work to fully represent sector requirements. Networks consist of industry members; RTOs, builders, contractors, manufacturers, suppliers and group training schemes that provide advice on specific issues in relation to the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package

To provide cohesion between the IRC and TAGs, the IRC appoints a member of its committee to Chair each TAG and that Chair reports back to the IRC meetings by way of a project briefs and verbal reports. TAG members are chosen in accordance with terms of reference that reflects employer representation and subject matter experts. Members of TAGs are recommended and selected because of their expertise in specific trades and their connections with industry. No more than two RTOs are recommended on each TAG.

IRC members employ a range of strategies to engage their networks, including engagement with:

• industry strategy groups

• major employers

• industry associations

• various industry boards

• commercial construction site personnel: o site managers o tradespersons o foremen safety managers o apprentices

• RTO based personnel

• schools: o students o apprentices

• regulators

• group training schemes. Forms of engagement to provide input into construction projects include face-to-face meetings, telephone calls, emails, formal meetings, conferences, professional development seminars, website articles, LinkedIn posts, online meetings and forums.

Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC members encourage their networks to participate in industry surveys, online sessions and industry forums.


Contentious issues are discussed in depth at IRC meetings and, where consensus is not reached, a vote is held to determine the way forward. It is rare that consensus is not found.

Appendix C: CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the

construction industry

CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry and CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package qualifications The Safe Work Australia model Code of Practice: Construction Work states:

‘Any person who is to carry out construction work, for example managers and

engineers, foreman [sic], supervisors, surveyors, labourers and tradespersons must

successfully complete general construction induction training before starting work.’

(page 33)

General construction induction training provides basic knowledge of construction work, the

work health and safety laws that apply, common hazards likely to be encountered in

construction work, and how the associated risks can be controlled.

General construction induction training must be delivered in Australia by an RTO and cover the content set out in the specified VET course for general construction induction training. CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry covers this requirement. In April 2019, the Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC recommended the inclusion of the unit CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry as an entry requirement for all proposed updates of the Certificate I, II, and III qualifications in the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package. Four Cases for Endorsement were forwarded to the AISC in August 2019 for endorsement with CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry listed as an entry requirement. These cases were not approved and the AISC requested:

• further evidence of industry support

• the IRC consider how work health and safety (WHS) is covered in existing units

• that the IRC reconsider the entry requirement.

In October 2019 following the AISC’s request, the Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC determined that CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry be a core unit in these qualifications and all other forthcoming CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Certificate I, II and III qualifications. The IRC acknowledges that achievement of the unit of competency can result in the issuance of a White Card and views the addition of this unit of competency in the core of qualifications as a way of guaranteeing that candidates:

• have successfully completed workplace construction induction training – as outlined in

the model code of practice

• have demonstrated knowledge of personal protective equipment and workplace

health and safety practice.

When making this recommendation the Construction IRC considered issues raised relating to:


• perceived (rather than actual) duplication of WHS content in the qualification

• regulatory (Safe Work Australia) requirements relating to issuing the White Card

• Administrative burden for RTOs with credit transfer arrangements

• limited online options for the delivery of the unit of competency (due to Safe Work

Australia requirements)

• Administrative burden in extending scope of delivery to include CPCCWHS1001

Prepare to work safely in the construction industry.

Given the anticipated change to the packaging rules the IRC requested that Artibus Innovation undertake a national round of consultation to inform stakeholders and obtain their feedback about this change on the updated packaging structure of the qualifications. The industry engagement strategy consisted of national face-to-face forums, webinars and an online poll. National Forums National forums were held in Adelaide, Bendigo, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Geelong, Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth and Sydney. Attendees were informed of the history to date and of the proposed addition of the unit to the core of each high risk work qualification (and future CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Certificate I, II and III qualifications). Attendees were also offered the opportunity to instantly undertake an electronic poll, either in support or against this packaging. A diverse mix of industry stakeholders attended the forums, these included industry employers, training fund authorities, VET is training providers, both public and private training providers, industry regulators, members of the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC), Project TAG members, IRC members and trade practitioners. The following lists indicate the registrations received and those highlighted in yellow indicate who attended. There were 208 attendees at the forums.

Online surveys Across three online surveys, the majority preference has been to include CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry as a core unit in CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Certificate I, II and III qualifications. An online survey of national forum attendees yielded 61 responses drawn from RTOs (40), Industry Employers (7), Associations (7), and Regulators (5), of which 57% approved of the inclusion of the unit of competency as a core and 43% disagreed. A targeted employer poll was also distributed yielding 14 responses, with 71% supporting the inclusion of the unit as a core. A further independent survey was also undertaken by the Industry Skills Advisory Council NT (ISANCT), which asked respondents for their preference between keeping CPCCWHS1001 as an entry requirement or making it core. The majority, and all 4 industry employers surveyed, supported CPCCWHS1001 as a core.

Summary of key issues Whilst there was an overall understanding by industry of the IRC’s approach to include the unit in the core, industry raised a range of concerns regarding this approach. Key issues raised at the national forums, webinars and online poll were:

Topic Key issue raised Response

Packaging rules

Most qualification have CPCCWHS2001 Apply WHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry as a core unit. This unit is also a prerequisite across a large portion of CPC AQF level III units of competency. Under this context, industry perceived duplication between CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry and CPCCWHS2001 Apply WHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry.

Whilst there are two WHS units in the core of CPC qualifications, both units offer different workplace outcomes and support WHS training and assessment.

Training and assessment delivery

High administrative burden for RTOs (challenges relating to credit transfer arrangements for learners possessing a White Card but not being in possession of their Statement of Attainment). This feedback was particularly strong from training provided in NSW, VIC, ACT and QLD.

This is an RTO administration issue which is out of the remit of the IRC and the SSO.





Topic Key issue raised Response

RTO scope change challenges, in some states and territories inclusion of this unit of competency automatically triggers an audit and/or requiring approval of Safe Work Australia.


The model WHS Legislation does not mandate that any individual who already holds a White Card be retrained to the new unit. The White Card holder is only required to be retrained if they have not carried out construction work in the preceding 2 years.


In all states and territories other than Western Australia and Tasmania, RTOs can have scope with ASQA to deliver CPCCWHS1001 nevertheless, they must seek approval from the State or Territory WHS regulator to issue a White Card to students on completion of the training.


All states at present, except Western Australia and Tasmania, require the training to be delivered face-to-face for the outcome of a White Card being issued to students. In Queensland students are also required to provide evidence of the method of training delivery to prove their eligibility for a card. This is a requirement of Safe Work Australia and is therefore a challenge for online providers who would no longer be able to delivery solely through this medium.


Overseas students not expecting to work in the Australian construction industry and therefore not requiring a white card.

WHS training within the context of each qualification should be afforded to all candidates.

Given that the previously recommended entry requirement strategy was rejected, adding the CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry is the only other available method of mandating this training within the qualifications. In conclusion, the Construction, Plumbing and Services IRC recognises that there will be an

added administrative duty on training providers and regulators. However, as the

representatives of the construction industry, it considers that candidates enrolled in CPC

Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package qualifications should undertake

mandatory work health and safety training, which promotes personal awareness and

knowledge of workplace health and safety practices, in order to work safely and prevent injury

or harm to self and others.


National webinars In addition to the Nation forums, online webinars were facilitated to support stakeholder participation. The webinars followed the same approach of the national forums. A total of eight national webinar were held. The webinars were designed to provide industry with project specific updates, as well as to consult about the inclusion of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry to the core. The following registrations were received for the webinar on high risk work:
