Part A: Overview information

1 Purpose of this Guide

This Implementation Guide supports the CPP Property Services Training Package. It has

been developed to assist trainers, assessors and registered training organisations (RTOs) as

well as other users of the Training Package by providing information on the structure and

contents of the Training Package, as well as other guidance material.

2 About Training Packages

A Training Package is an integrated set of nationally endorsed competency standards,

assessment requirements and Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications for a

specific industry, industry sector or enterprise.

Each Training Package:

provides a consistent and reliable set of components for training, and for recognising and assessing learners’ skills; and may also have optional support materials

enables nationally recognised qualifications to be awarded through direct assessment of workplace competencies

encourages the development and delivery of flexible training that suits learner and industry requirements

strongly encourages learning and assessment in a work-related environment, which leads to verifiable workplace outcomes.

Training Packages specify the skills and knowledge required to perform effectively in the

workplace. They do not prescribe how an individual should be trained. Trainers and

supervisors develop learning strategies ‒ the ‘how’ ‒ depending on learner needs, abilities

and circumstances.

The Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy ensures that

qualifications, units of competency and assessment requirements are developed to an

agreed quality standard and are responsive to industry’s existing and future demand for new

skills.

The following key principles underpin the process.

Open and inclusive industry-driven continuous improvement, validation and endorsement of Training Packages.

Strong and clear key stakeholder roles with critical points of intervention and consultation.

Highly responsive process, capable of meeting industry needs and priorities for new skills.

Industry Skills Council (ISC) responsibility and accountability for the quality and relevance of Training Packages.

More information about Training Packages may be found at:

https://www.education.gov.au/training-packages

https://www.education.gov.au/training-packages

2


The CPP Property Services Training Package consists of the following endorsed

components.

Units of competency, which specify the standards of performance required in the workplace.

Assessment requirements, which are associated with each unit of competency and specify the performance evidence, knowledge evidence and assessment conditions for assessment.

Qualifications, which comply with the AQF specification for that qualification type, and describe a combination of units of competency that provide a meaningful outcome at an industry or enterprise level.

Credit arrangements, which specify any arrangements that exist between the Training Package qualifications and higher education qualifications (at the time of endorsement of CPP Training Package no national credit arrangements exist).

Delivery and assessment of Training Packages

Training and assessment for the purpose of national recognition must be conducted by an

RTO with the qualifications and specific units of competency on its scope of registration.

RTOs wishing to deliver material not on their scope of registration will need to work in

partnership with RTOs that do have the material on scope.

RTOs are responsible for ensuring that training and assessment are conducted by

appropriately qualified practitioners and comply with the relevant requirements in the

Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015

(http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2014L01377).

Additional information relating to assessment and assessors is contained in the assessment

requirements template for each unit of competency.

Reasonable adjustment

Reasonable adjustment refers to adjustments that can be made to the way in which evidence

of candidate performance can be collected. While reasonable adjustments can be made in

terms of the way in which evidence of performance is gathered, the evidence criteria for

decisions about competency – ‘competent’ or ‘not yet competent’ – should not be altered in

any way. That is, the standards expected should be the same irrespective of the group

and/or individual being assessed; otherwise comparability of standards will be compromised.

Assessors may need to consider and apply reasonable adjustment when conducting

assessment and gathering evidence in relation to the assessment requirements of CPP units

of competency.

3.3 CPP qualif ications, skill sets and units of competency

Training Package qualif ications

Qualifications comprise units of competency that together support an industry-agreed job

role. Qualifications typically comprise a number of mandatory core units that are required

across the entire industry and a number of elective units that can be chosen to suit industry

sector, and regulatory, enterprise, professional or individual requirements.

CPP qualif ications

CPP Property Services Training Package qualifications comply with all aspects of the

AQF 2013 descriptor for that qualification type.

The AQF provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for all qualifications in

post-compulsory education and training in Australia. In the VET sector it assists national

consistency for all trainees, learners, employers and providers by enabling national

recognition of qualifications and Statements of Attainment. For a full explanation of the AQF,

refer to the AQF Second Edition (January 2013), which may be found at www.aqf.edu.au.

4 Key work and skill requirements in CPP

4.1 About the building design drafting industry

The drafting occupation plays an important role in a diverse range of businesses, including

architectural and building design practices and building companies.

There are generally two significant pathways into the drafting industry. Approximately half of

the entrants are Year 12 school leavers. The other half come from a blend of educational

pathways and work backgrounds, including mature age workers seeking a career change,

and those from sectors relating to drafting.

The destinations of recent graduates of existing entry level drafting qualifications are also

diverse, with building design practices being dominant (approximately 40%), followed by

architectural practices (approximately 30%). A smaller number (approximately 10%) become

self-employed drafters, while others (approximately 16%) find work in other sectors that

require drafting skills. The other sectors employing graduates include construction

companies, project home builders, local government, and engineering firms.

Irrespective of career destination for graduates, there is anecdotal evidence that most

employers prefer graduates with a minimum of one year of work experience translating

theoretical knowledge into practical industry skills. From this perspective, some form of

work-based cadetship or traineeship is seen by industry as a desirable pathway into the

industry.

16


Types of draf t ing projects

On a national level, drafters typically work on the following types of projects.

Single residential dwellings (new and extensions or renovations)

Multi-unit residential dwellings

Medium density residential dwellings

Commercial buildings, such as offices, restaurants and shops

Most drafters assist and work under the supervision and instruction of an architect or building

designer to gather and produce a range of technically accurate and compliant documentation

and drawings as part of the planning and building approval processes.

Using contemporary tools and industry-specific software, drafters carry out a range of tasks

that typically include:

collecting and storing project information

researching and evaluating construction legislation, codes, standards, methods and materials

setting up computer aided design (CAD) and building information modelling (BIM) software files and producing digital building designs

analysing and checking building designs for compliance with legislation, codes and standards

producing documentation for planning and building approval

providing support to building project designers.

A skilled drafter requires a sound understanding of building construction methods, materials,

codes and standards to add value to a building design team in developing compliant

documentation for planning and building approval. Often people with a background in

building trades become successful drafters.

Chal lenges for the bui ld ing design draf t ing sector future

Two changes facing drafters and the building design sector more broadly are:

growing and changing compliance requirements

increasing use of BIM-capable software.

These changes require the upskilling and re-skilling of some of the existing drafting

workforce.

4.2 About the pest management industry

Pest management technicians require well developed customer service skills as well as a

sound knowledge of pests and integrated pest management. A pest management technician

mostly works alone, operating from a vehicle carrying a range of pesticides to treat various

pests as well as equipment and materials required for the particular types of jobs scheduled

for each working day.

Whether working for a larger company – with a work order supplied by the business – or as

an owner operator, the pest management technician must be self-managing in terms of

ensuring the timeliness, efficiency, effectiveness, safety and quality of all aspects of the work

at each site.

17


5 Regulatory and licensing implications for implementation

5.1 Licensing requirements for building design drafting

The model and requirements for building design drafting differ in each State and are

summarised in the table below.

The regulatory departmental names and contact details provided in the table below are

subject to change, and users are advised to check with source.

It is recommended that CPP Property Services Training Package users contact the relevant

state or territory department(s) to confirm regulatory and licensing requirements that may

apply.

In addition to specific regulatory or licensing requirements for working as a drafter or building

designer, companies and personnel must comply with environmental, industrial and work

health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations.

The work health and safety regulators for each state and territory are listed in the Industry

health and safety implications section of this Guide (page 27).

5.2 Licensing requirements for pest management

Pest management is a licensed occupation, where the minimum requirement for operating as

an independent pest manager in all jurisdictions except Western Australia (WA) is the

completion of the skill set CPPSS00046 Manage non-timber pests.

There are two other skill sets used for licensing and these are:


CPPSS00047 Manage timber pests.

Many people employed in the pest management industry will complete one or more of these

skill sets, depending on the core business of the company employing them, or if entering into

the sector themselves, on which services they wish to offer as an owner operator.

The use of these skill sets for licensing sub-sectors of the industry goes some way to

explaining the relatively low enrolment and completion figures for the Certificate III in Pest

Management compared to the number of companies and technicians operating in the pest

management sector.

Western Australia allows for a person who has achieved competence in the unit

CPPPMT3006 Manage pests by applying pesticides to obtain a provisional licence. This

provisional licence is valid for 12 months – to continue to practise as a pest management

technician, provisional licence holders in WA must achieve the Certificate III in Urban Pest

Management (13 units of competency) over a period of 12 months.

It is recommended that CPP Property Services Training Package users contact the relevant

state or territory department(s) to confirm regulatory and licensing requirements that may

apply.

Part B: Implementation Information

1 Key features of CPP and the industry that impact on selecting training pathways

To meet the demands of industry and the requirements of VET stakeholders, Training

Packages and the qualifications and units they contain are subject to change, including

continuous improvement processes.

Training Packages are version controlled and users are advised to check training.gov.au for

the latest version of CPP. From 2015 onwards, further versions of this Training Package will

be released as more qualifications, skill sets and units of competency are transitioned into

CPP from CPP07.

Training and assessment pathways

Pathways generally define a path or sequence of learning or experiences that can be

followed to attain competency. They are not mandatory and may vary depending on the

qualification or training program and the needs of the learner. They should be based on the

learner’s education and experience and the needs of the workplace as required.

Assessment by any pathway must comply with the assessment requirements associated with the unit of competency and the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.

Maintaining currency

To effectively deliver units of competency from CPP Property Services Training Package,

trainers and assessors will need to maintain currency of knowledge, skills and industry

experience.

CPSISC strongly recommends that to maintain their vocational currency, trainers and

assessors should have undertaken work experience or professional development related to

the industry sector for the respective qualification within the past two years.

The bui lding design draf t ing sector

Examples of maintaining currency in the building design drafting sector include:

working in a building design company

providing planning and/or building permit advice to clients with reference to current codes, standards and local authority requirements

undertaking training in the use of BIM-capable software

undertaking activities to become familiar with the latest changes to the National Construction Code.

The pest management industry

Pest management technicians need to constantly update information regarding licensing

requirements in different States and Territories and regulatory requirements relating to the

use of pesticides. Membership of an industry association supports pest management

technicians in maintaining currency of information in these areas.

Assessment condit ions

The assessment requirements document that relates to each CPP unit of competency

contains an Assessment Conditions section that lists a range of requirements for

assessment, typically under the following categories:

http://www.training.gov.au/

21


equipment

materials

specifications

relationships with team member and supervisor

relationship with clients.

Where training and assessment are conducted in a real work site, safety and workplace

induction requirements for RTO staff and learners may apply. In these situations, RTOs must

ensure that any requirements to access and operate on the work site are met. This may

include the safe handling and operation of plant, equipment and materials.

When training and assessment are conducted in a close simulation to the workplace, RTOs

are also required to ensure that safety requirements related to the simulated work site

(including plant, equipment and materials) are met.

Occupational outcomes of CPP qualifications

Qual i f icat ion Occupat ional outcome Comments


This qualification reflects the roles of pest management technicians who identify common urban pests, assess pest problems, consider pest management options, develop pest management plans, liaise with customers and implement pest management strategies.

In most cases, the technician will work alone and have responsibility for managing chemicals and equipment used in pest management as well as for a pest management vehicle, including the vehicle storage area. In the case of complex or high risk operations the technician may work as part of a team.

Pest Management Technician

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to pest management in all States and Territories. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.


This entry level qualification into the building design industry provides building design drafters with the competencies required to support building designers or architects.

Building design drafters may work on a wide range of building design projects, including high rise commercial projects, under the supervision and instruction of an appropriately licensed or

accredited architect or building designer.

The role of the drafter includes using BIM-capable current industry standard building design software to produce drawings and documentation required by clients and stakeholders, and for the planning and building authorisation processes. It also involves researching and applying relevant information, including drawings and reports from other construction professionals and compliance requirements relevant to specific projects. The drafter also provides administrative support to the design team, including data collection and storage, and file management.

Candidates are advised to consult with the relevant regulatory authorities.

Table 12: Occupational outcomes of CPP qualifications

3 Entry requirements for CPP qualif ications

Entry requirements are the skills, knowledge and experience required to enter a qualification.

These requirements may be expressed in terms of competency from a lower level

qualification or vocational expertise – including job roles – or both; and where they exist, they

must be demonstrated prior to entering the qualification or being issued the qualification.

Where entry requirements exist for a qualification, they are stipulated at qualification outset.

4 Pathways advice in line with requirements of the AQF Pathways Policy

The AQF provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for qualifications in

compulsory post-education and training in Australia. The framework helps to provide

consistency in the VET sector for all trainees, learners, employers and providers by enabling

recognition of qualifications and Statements of Attainment. The framework enables learners

to have flexible pathways than can cover more than one provider, pathways that are

horizontal (across AQF qualifications at the same level) and vertical (between qualifications

at different levels), and eliminates unnecessary and unfair barriers to AQF qualifications.

4.1 Pathways advice for building design drafting

CPP40115 Certificate IV in Building Design Drafting is an entry-level qualification into the

building design industry. It is has been designed to meet the needs of drafters working under

the supervision of an experienced building designer or architect. In some jurisdictions,

successful completion of the qualification may lead to licensing to perform some types of

building design work. The qualification has the potential to be completed by recognition of

prior learning as well as by workplace assessment for drafters currently working in the

building design industry but without a formal qualification.

Graduates of CPP40115 could progress to CPP50911 Diploma of Building Design. To

promote pathways into CPP50911, the packaging rules of CPP40115 contain a number of

units that are also in the packaging rules of CPP50911. CPP50911 applies to building

designers who undertake building design projects covered by the Building Code of Australia

(BCA), except very complex buildings, and leads to licensing or registration to perform

building design work in several jurisdictions. It is envisaged that after further work experience

in the industry, graduates of CPP50911 could progress to senior building designers in larger

enterprises or establish their own building design practices. To progress to the next level, it is

envisaged that graduates of CPP50911 would undertake CPP80113 Graduate Certificate in

Building Design, which applies to senior building designers undertaking more complicated

building projects. CPP80113 also provides a direct pathway to CPP80213 Graduate Diploma

of Building Design with three of the four core units of both qualifications being identical.

CPP80213 was developed for senior building designers responsible for leading and

managing a building design practice, including responsibility for strategic planning, team

development and business development. The building design qualifications CPP50911,

CPP80113, and CPP80213 are in the CPP07 Property Services Training Package.

4.2 Pathways advice for pest management

Currently, there are no formal training pathways into the pest management industry. In

States and Territories where a full Certificate III in Urban Pest Management is not required

for licensing, a person can commence work in the industry by completing the CPPSS00046

Manage non-timber pests skill set or other units in the Certificate III. A person could complete

one or more of the pest management skill sets and gain credit towards the complete

qualification.

4.3 Credit arrangements for CPP qualifications

At the time of endorsement of CPP Training Package no national credit arrangements

between qualifications in CPP and higher education qualifications exist for building design

drafting qualifications.

5 Access and equity considerations

An individual’s access to the assessment process should not be adversely affected by

restrictions placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements

specified in the CPP Property Services Training Package and must be bias-free.

Training Packages must reflect and cater for the increasing diversity of Australia’s VET

clients and Australia’s current and future workforce. The flexibilities offered by Training

Packages should enhance opportunities and potential outcomes for all people so that we can

all benefit from a wider national skills base and a shared contribution to Australia’s economic

development and social and cultural life.

25


Reasonable adjustment

It is important that education providers take meaningful, transparent and reasonable steps to

consult, consider and implement reasonable adjustments for disadvantaged learners.

Under the Disability Standards for Education 2005, education providers must make

reasonable adjustments for people with a disability to the maximum extent that those

adjustments do not cause that provider unjustifiable hardship. While ‘reasonable adjustment’

and ‘unjustifiable hardship’ are different concepts and involve different considerations, they

both seek to strike a balance between the interests of education providers and the interests

of people with and without disability.

An adjustment is any measure or action that a learner requires because of their disability,

which has the effect of assisting the learner to access and participate in education and

training on the same basis as those without a disability. An adjustment is reasonable if it

achieves this purpose while taking into account factors such as the nature of the learner’s

disability, the views of the learner, the potential effect of the adjustment on the learner and

others who might be affected, and the costs and benefits of making the adjustment.

An education provider is also entitled to maintain the academic integrity of a course or

program and to consider the requirements or components that are inherent or essential to its

nature when assessing whether an adjustment is reasonable.

6 Foundation skil ls

The term ‘foundation skills’ in CPP units of competency is used to describe language, literacy

and numeracy skills that are essential to performance in the unit. CPP Property Services

Training Package uses the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) performance feature

information to describe the nature of the foundation skills demanded by the unit.

The ACSF has been developed to facilitate a consistent national approach to identifying and

developing core skills in diverse personal, community, work, and education and training

contexts.

It provides a rich, detailed picture of real life performance in the five core skills of:

learning

reading

writing

oral communication

numeracy.

It offers:

shared concepts and language for identifying, describing and discussing core skills

a systematic approach to benchmarking, monitoring and reporting on core skill performance. (Source: DEEWR, Revised ACSF: 2012)

The ACSF is a freely available government-developed tool that describes language, literacy

and numeracy (or core) skills in the numerous contexts in which individuals work, learn and

communicate. The ACSF is a key component of the infrastructure which exists to support

and improve adult learning. The ACSF is recognised by all state and territory governments.

It may be accessed via

http://www.industry.gov.au/skills/ForTrainingProviders/AustralianCoreSkillsFramework/Pages

/default.aspx

In CPP units of competency, foundation skill descriptors have been adapted using the ACSF

as a reference point, in order to provide an example of the foundation skills required for the

successful performance of the unit in the areas of learning, reading, writing, oral

communication and numeracy.

RTOs are advised to assess foundations skills (language literacy and numeracy [LLN]) of

prospective candidates prior to them enrolling in the qualification or related units of

competency. Each RTO will need to make a decision as to whether the individual candidate

possesses the LLN skills to successfully complete the qualification and what additional

support the candidate will require to successfully undertake the qualification.

7 Industry health and safety implications

7.1 Building design drafting industry health and safety

There are several WHS hazards and risks associated with the work of building design

drafters. Some of these hazards and risks occur in the office environment in which drafting

work is performed, as well as on existing and future construction sites. Some of these WHS

hazards and risks are identified in various building design drafting units.

Building design drafters need to be aware of Safe Work Australia’s Safe Design of Structures

– Code of Practice, July 2012. This model Code of Practice has been developed to provide

practical guidance to persons conducting a business who design structures that will be used,

or could reasonably be expected to be used, as a workplace. This includes architects,

building designers and engineers. The Code is also relevant for anyone making decisions

that influence the design outcome, such as clients, developers and builders. The Code of

Practice may be accessed via

http://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/sites/swa/about/publications/pages/safe-design-of-

structures

To have legal effect in a jurisdiction, the model Code of Practice must be adopted as a code

of practice in that jurisdiction. To determine if this model Code of Practice has been adopted

in a particular jurisdiction, check with the relevant building regulator listed in the ‘Licensing’

section above and the WHS regulator listed in the following table.

Pest management technicians need to be aware of the effects of pest behaviour and the

impacts of their actions – such as dealing with spider bites or wasp stings – and the effects of

termite action on wooden structures.

Pest management technicians must also assess each new work site that they visit for

general hazards before inspecting for pests or treating the area.

The licensing requirements in different States and Territories reflect the need for pest

management technicians to be competent in assessing risks, implementing integrated pest

management options, and using pest management methods appropriately.

8 Resources and equipment relevant to CPP Property Services Training Package

There are no specific resource or equipment lists available in CPP Property Services

Training Package that are relevant to the building design drafting industry.

CPSISC has, however, developed Delivery and Assessment Guides for CPP30115

Certificate III in Urban Pest Management, which may be accessed at

http://www.cpsisc.com.au/productcategories/property-delivery-assessment-guides.

Assessment requirements documents will specify any mandatory resource and equipment

requirements for assessing a unit of competency in their Assessment Conditions sections.

For information on resources and equipment, Training Package users are also advised to

check the Range of Conditions section of CPP units of competency. These Range of

Conditions sections specify essential operating conditions that affect the performance of a

unit. RTOs will need to have resources and equipment to address the Range of Conditions

items as part of the training and assessment of these units.

For example, many building design drafting units require access to the National Construction

Code (NCC) and the Building Code of Australia (BCA), as well as access to current BIM-

capable software used in the building design industry. The NCC and BCA may be accessed

by contacting the Australian Building Controls Board via http://www.abcb.gov.au.

9 Legal considerations for learners

Legal requirements for learners in the workplace or involved in work experience that apply to

industry-specific sectors covered in CPP Property Services vary across each State and

Territory and can change from time to time.

Users should contact the relevant state or territory training authorities provided in Section C3

on page 33 of this Implementation Guide to check if legal requirements apply.

Work placements should always involve appropriate supervision and guidance from

individuals in the workplace as well as from the RTO’s trainers and assessors, and must

adhere to required legislation that applies in the jurisdiction. For example, RTOs and

employers must ensure that learners meet appropriate WHS requirements while on a

construction site.

Apprenticeships and traineeships are formal training arrangements between an employer

and an employee that have been established by a state or territory training authority. Where

a qualification is used for an apprenticeship or traineeship, the training has to be recognised

by the state or territory training authority. This includes the form and registration of indenture.

Current apprenticeship and traineeship legislation and successor legislation is defined in:

Australian Capital Territory: Training and Tertiary Education Act 2003

New South Wales: Apprenticeship and Traineeship Act 2001

Northern Territory: Northern Territory Employment and Training Act 1991

Queensland: Vocational Education, Training and Employment Act 2000

South Australia: Training and Skills Development Act 2008

Tasmania: Vocational Education and Training Act 1994

Victoria: Education and Training Reform Act 2006

Western Australia: Vocational Education and Training Act 1996.

10 Further information relevant to implementing CPP

Where imported units of competency are used as part of CPP Property Services

qualifications, RTOs must consider and meet the specific training and assessment

requirements of those imported units and their parent Training Packages. These

requirements may include specific legal, WHS, resourcing and equipment requirements, as

well as unique trainer and assessor requirements, including industry experience.
