Modification History

Release 1

This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0.

Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCBL3002A Carry out masonry veneer construction. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to construct masonry veneer buildings and structures. It includes structural, non-structural components and finishing of masonry veneer construction.

This unit applies to people who work on masonry veneer construction on new or existing structures. It is suitable for people operating with some autonomy. A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without needing close supervision.

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

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
