Supersedes and equivalent to CPCCWF3002A Fix floor tiles. Change to title. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to install floor tiles to different substrates.

It includes the preparation, cutting, installing and grouting of tiles for floors, including steps and and/or or stairs and thresholds.

A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without 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 CPCCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit in some states and territories and users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.
