After numerous delays, the much-anticipated Construction, Plumbing, and Services (CPC) Training Package version 5.0 is finally out on training.gov.au and the following versions 6.0 and 7.0 are expected to come out soon after. The Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) endorsed the series of updates which are said to reflect the industry changes and make the training package more relevant to the current environment.
The consultation process involved various stakeholders from all over the industry. Unions, industry associations, employers, employees, regulators, and registered training organisations were all asked to provide feedback and their expert advice on the updates.
The 2020 update is one of the most significant changes to this training package the industry has experienced in recent years. Some numerous qualifications and units have been changed or removed to keep up with the changing landscape of the construction and plumbing industries.
Here’s everything you need to know about these series of updates:
CPC versions 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 inclusions
A total of 35 qualifications have been updated and included in the new CPC training package versions. These qualifications have either been modified to current standards or are brand new to the package.
Artibus, the Skills Service Organisation that created the updates, together with the Department of Education, Skills, and Employment synchronised the release of the training package to help decrease the use of superseded units of competency in the new qualifications.
New BSB and HLT units were also considered as Core units or non-equivalent units. The Construction, Plumbing, and Services Industry Reference Committee met to review these units to make sure they still fit for purpose. Imported elective units are still equivalent and have been updated. These imported elective units will be reflected in their corresponding qualifications.
