Home / Plumbing & Roof Plumbing / Certificate III in Roof Plumbing – CPC32620
Flashings, roof cladding, gutters, downpipes — roof plumbing is its own specialised trade, and CPC32620 is the certificate that recognises it. We help build the RPL case, assessed by one of our partnered training organisations.
This qualification reflects the role of a person installing, maintaining and repairing flashings, metal roof and wall claddings, and rainwater products such as gutters and downpipes on residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
It’s a licensed occupation, with requirements varying between states and territories, and training must take place in a real or closely simulated workplace. RPL suits roof plumbers formalising years of genuine trade work.
Start with the Free RPL Check to see if your experience fits. From there, we help you pull together evidence of your roof plumbing work, and one of our partnered RTOs assesses that evidence and issues the qualification once the requirements are met.
Because roof plumbing training has to be assessed in a real or closely simulated workplace, your RTO may also need to observe your work or visit a site directly.
It converts your on-the-job experience into a nationally recognised trade certificate, supporting licensed roof plumber status — noting licensing requirements vary by state and territory, so it's worth checking what applies where you work.
If you've genuinely been doing the work, RPL is generally a faster path than starting a course from scratch — but it isn't automatic. You still need solid evidence, and your partnered RTO makes the final call once they've reviewed it.
