Put your training and experience to use with ITEC’s RPL services and earn a nationally recognised qualification with a CPC33020- Certificate III in Bricklaying and Blocklaying via our RTO partners.
This certificate recognises prior learning and experience in the bricklaying field. The program is available to local students who have completed partial studies in Australia and experienced bricklayers who have gained valuable skills and knowledge over years of working in the industry. You must provide evidence of qualifications and relevant experience with Australian requirements and standards. The program will enable you to attain the units required for your nationally recognised qualification and contractor’s licence.
To qualify for this certificate, you must provide evidence demonstrating that your skills and knowledge align with the courser’s learning outcomes. This evidence can take various forms. Demonstrating your current proficiency at a comparable level can be done through a CV (your student support representative can assist with this), an employment letter, or an employment contract.
Additionally, documents from prior work or educational experiences, such as references from licensed tradespeople you’ve collaborated with, apprenticeship records, academic transcripts, or assessments from relevant past qualifications, all contribute to the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process. You can also submit proof of overseas qualifications or visual evidence of your work, especially for practical roles.
