To achieve this qualification, the candidate must demonstrate competency in:

12 units of competency:

• 6 core units
• 6 elective units.

The elective units are to be chosen as follows:

• no less than 4 units and up to 6 units from Groups A to G, with no less than 2 units from any individual group
• up to 2 units from Group H
• 1 unit may be chosen from Certificate I or II qualifications in CPC08 or another current Training Package or accredited course, provided the integrity of the AQF alignment is ensured, and they contribute to a valid, industry-supported vocational outcome.

The wide range of electives is drawn from Certificate III units of competency in CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package. Units of competency from Plumbing and Services qualifications are not available, as there are different plumbing and services pathways to Certificate III outcomes.

Some units in this qualification may have prerequisite requirements, which must be met when packaging the qualification. Users are referred to the list of CPC08 units with prerequisite unit requirements available in this Training Package for this purpose.
