Important information about the level of contextualisation required for learning and assessment
For many of these units, students will need to inspect, implement or be observed demonstrating specific skills in a construction environment.Â
We have certainly made the resources flexible so they can be used by students who are employed or who are learning in a simulated workplace environment, but the assessments will require a higher level of RTO contextualisation than you might expect from, say, a BSB or IT unit. For example, in some instances you will be required to provide plans and specs that match the project the students will be required to complete. In others, students will need access to project documentation that reflects the simulated live site environment they will be learning and assessed within and you may need to update marking guidance accordingly.
We have provided additional guidance for trainers and assessors in our Toolboxes and we recommend that you review a sample unit before purchasing if you have concerns about the level of contextualisation that may be required.
About this qualification
This qualification reflects the role of builders, site managers and managers of small to medium-sized building businesses who apply knowledge of structural principles, codes, standards and legal requirements to Class 1 and 10, to a maximum of two storeys and Class 2 to 9 Type C constructions, and who plan and supervise safe building and construction work, prepare and administer contracts, and who apply quality principles to building and construction projects.
Building relates to construction and Site Management is about managing the factors around construction, such as the deployment of crews with specialised skills (including builders), product compliance, deployment of contract specialised skills, weather and site location.
Occupational titles depending on packaging options selected may include:
Builder
Construction Supervisor
Site Manager
Site SupervisorÂ
Leading Hand.
The qualification is designed to enable two specialised occupational outcome pathways depending on elective options which will be reflected as:
Certificate IV in Building and Construction (Building) or
Certificate IV in Building and Construction (Site Management).
Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of unit CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
Builder and Site Supervisor licensing varies across States and Territories and requirements additional to the attainment of this qualification may be required.
What do I get?
A range of learning and assessment resources support each unit of competency. Click each resource type to see what is provided.
Learning resources
We support you to deliver learning in a number of ways.

Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.
Trainer Guides
The Building and Construction Works Trainer Guides provide training content, student activities, delivery resources, links to videos, further reading and additional material to help guide delivery. Each Trainer Guide also includes assessment checkpoints – a self-reflection guide for students to check their readiness for assessment.
Trainer Guide Mapping
A detailed Trainer Guide Mapping is included for each unit of competency. It shows how each unit of competency is addressed by the Trainer Guide.
Student Guides
For practical, hands-on units, content is provided by way of demonstration, videos, practical tasks, further reading and class discussions. For the ‘human skills’ and more theory-based units, the Student Guide provides learning content, activities, links to videos and further reading, and additional material to support learning. Assessment checkpoints are provided for each unit of competency and the student is directed to the appropriate assessment workbook to complete their assessment when they are ready.
Learning Modules
As you know, there is repetition across a number of units in the CPC training package. To help avoid your students (and trainers) seeing the same content over and over again, we have developed a number of Learning Modules. These modules present information common across multiple units of competency. Some examples of modules include PPE, tools and equipment, planning and preparation, and clean up.
PowerPoint Presentations
Each unit of competency is supported by a PowerPoint presentation. The slides highlight key learning points.
Assessment resources
We also support you to deliver assessment by providing you with assessment resources that are user friendly, student and assessor focused and suitable for use in a range of assessment situations from the classroom to the workplace.

Assessor Workbook
Assessor Workbooks provide assessment tasks, observation checklists and marking guidance for each unit of competency. They also provide unit-specific advice on delivering assessment. They are designed for use with students who are being assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace.
Assessment Mapping
Mapping is provided as a separate document to show how each unit of competency is mapped to each assessment task.
Student Workbook
Student Workbooks provide students with assessment tasks, checklists and guidance on gathering evidence for each unit of competency. They also provide important information relating to completing training and assessment. They are designed to provide a clear and straightforward way for them to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in a workplace or simulated workplace setting.
Supporting resources
The Building and Construction Works series also comes with some additional supporting resources.

Plans Bank
The Plans Bank includes links to project plans that can be used for assessment, training and practise. You may like to draw from the bank or rely on your organisation’s own plans and projects. The bank also includes links to legislation, regulations and codes of practice, as well as calculators to assist students with working out materials quantities. We progressively add material to the Plans Bank.
Toolboxes
Toolboxes provide key information, templates and forms for trainers, assessors and students. Instead of repeating this information across every unit in the series, we provide it in this one, handy document.

Logbook
Work placement provides students with an opportunity to apply their new skills and knowledge in a hands-on, real-life industry environment. The Logbook has been designed so students can log their hours spent in a building and construction workplace during training.
The Logbook is available for $195.00 and can be purchased from the RTO Works website.
Training and Assessment Strategy
The Training and Assessment Strategy (TAS) has been designed for this qualification. It is easy to customise with an instruction guide and all information for the core units added.
