Applicants must be currently working in the industry for a minimum of 2 years as a licensed Fire Protection person in the stream that they are looking to enrol into. The applicant also needs to provide evidence that they hold a current “White Card” (also known as general Construction Induction Card). The “White Card” is issued by the various States once a person has completed the unit CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry.
Throughout the enrolment process the applicant must provide evidence to demonstrate experience within relevant work activities, including:

It is recommended that students can demonstrate Language, Literacy and Numeracy skills equivalent to Level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF).
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment-only process. RPL captures evidence from a student who has already learned in other courses, from life and/or work experience, and from any training at work. This ‘Prior Learning’ must be relevant to one or more of the units of competency they are enrolling in. A student who is assessed through RPL as competent in a unit is not required to do that unit in the course.
If you believe you have completed a unit of competency in another formal learning experience, you may be eligible for a Credit Transfer (CT). You will have to provide a certified copy of the Statement of Results or Statement of Attainment through the enrolment process as evidence. If a CT is identified, you will not have to complete the unit again or be charged for that unit.
On successful completion of 11002NAT Certificate IV in Fire Systems Compliance, students will be awarded a Qualification. A Statement of Attainment will be issued to students who partially complete the Certificate.
There are no articulation arrangements in place for this course.
This Certificate includes three units of competency from the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package. Completion of those units provides pathways into qualifications including those units of competency.
