CPC50220 Diploma of Building and Construction (Building)
This skills recognition program provides you the participant with the opportunity to attain the CPC50220
Diploma of Building and Construction (Building) through a skills recognition process”.
A Skills Recognition process is where you provide evidence of your skills and knowledge, such as documentary evidence, video evidence, and testimonials on your ability. We will then review this information, visit your workplace and observe you at work to confirm that these skills and knowledge are present and a true reflection of your current abilities and skill set.
To apply for this process the applicant will:
Contact our office to arrange a cost free/obligation free Candidate Suitability Interview,
in the interview the candidate will:
- Review our course info sheets
- Review our participant handbook
- Review our Enrolment Agreement
- Meet with one of our Skills Assessors to determine if the candidate has the necessary work experience and knowledge, as well as sufficient English skills to complete the Skills Assessment process. This will include a Language Literacy and Numeracy assessment as per our LLN Policy.
- Review with the Skills Assessor a sample RPL Candidate Kit to ensure an understanding of the knowledge and skills required, the method of evidence collection and to discuss any questions that they have.

The participant is then able to commence collecting their information in preparation for submission any potential site visits (these will be advised on at least two weeks in advance).
Depending upon the results of the evidence submission, you may be required to provide more evidence of competency, you may need to arrange for your RPL assessor to visit you at work, and the RPL assessor may need to talk to the people who have provided you with the evidence.
All communication, confirmations and results will be provided in writing, typically by email.
If you do not have the skills or knowledge to meet the needs of the Skills Recognition program you will not be found competent and will not attain the qualification. Melbourne Building Academy does not provide “Gap Training”, you will need to make your own arrangements to acquire any additional skills or knowledge required to complete the program. This additional skills and knowledge may be available in your workplace, it may be available at your local TAFE or through another training provider, we do not provide GAP training.
