Top of pagePurpose of the Program
The aim of the 22338VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction Pre-apprenticeship is to provide learners with basic industry specific skills and knowledge to enable transition into an apprenticeship within the building and construction industries at the Certificate III level.
This pre-apprenticeship course consists of a core of common cross sector units of competency that provide skills and knowledge in:
applying basic leveling procedures
carrying out basic measurements and calculations
communicating in the workplace
erecting and safely using working platforms
interpreting basic plans and drawings
preparing and applying for work in the construction industry
working effectively and sustainably in the construction industry
workplace safety practices onsite.
The course also includes a range of units that introduce the learner to the application of specific materials, tools and equipment, and techniques used in specific trade sectors, that underpin the Certificate III qualifications in the following trade sectors:
Carpentry
Wall and ceiling lining
Joinery/shopfitting/stairbuilding.
The combined skills and knowledge of the pre-apprenticeship course does not provide for a job outcome as a qualified tradesperson as this course is intended to prepare individuals for further training.
