Are you ready to stop being “the helper” and start being a certified professional? The CPC10120 Certificate I in Construction is the foundational qualification the Australian building industry respects. Whether you’re looking to enter the workforce or need a recognized certificate to back up your current site experience, our RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) process—delivered through our elite RTO partners—is your fastest route to success.
What is the CPC10120 Qualification?
The Certificate I in Construction is a nationally recognized introduction to the building world. It’s designed to provide a “taster” of various trades while ensuring you have the essential safety and organizational knowledge to be a valuable asset on any job site.
Key Skills You’ll Get Certified For
Through RPL, we help you prove your competency in 11 units (8 core and 3 electives), focusing on:
- The “White Card” Standard: Preparing to work safely in the construction industry (CPCCWHS1001).
- Site Essentials: Handling construction materials safely and using basic hand and power tools.
- Communication & Planning: Following instructions, reading simple plans, and organizing your daily work tasks.
- Sustainability: Understanding how to work effectively and sustainably in a modern construction environment.
- Basic Estimation: Learning how to calculate costs and materials for simple construction projects.
Pro Tip: If you’ve already spent time on a job site, you probably do these things every day. Why study them for months when you can get RPL credit in a fraction of the time?
