Home / Plumbing & Roof Plumbing / Certificate III in Plumbing – CPC32420
Plumbing is one of the most tightly regulated trades in the country, which makes the formal certificate non-negotiable — CPC32420 is that certificate. We help build a thorough RPL case for experienced plumbers, assessed by one of our partnered training organisations.
This is a licensed trade qualification, with three specialisation streams — General Plumber, General Plumbing and Mechanical, or General Plumber Roofing and Mechanical — depending on the scope of work you want to be licensed for.
Licensing, legislative and regulatory requirements vary between states and territories, so it’s worth confirming requirements with your local regulator. RPL suits experienced plumbers who’ve been working in the trade without holding the formal qualification, though because this is a licensed occupation, evidence is scrutinised closely.
This particular course of a certificate iii in plumbing is open to plumbers who have at least 5 years related local experience, as well as local students who have completed part of their studies in Australia. Recognition of overseas qualifications are also accepted by this program, provided applicants can provide the appropriate evidence and proof of experience.
