Office Use Only: FD.02 Part A: Overview information 1 Purpose of this Guide This Implementation Guide supports the CPP Property Services Training Package. It has been developed to assist trainers, assessors and registered training organisations (RTOs) as well as other users of the Training Package by providing information on the structure and contents of the Training Package, as well as other guidance material. 2 About Training Packages A Training Package is an integrated set of nationally endorsed competency standards, assessment requirements and Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications for a specific industry, industry sector or enterprise. Each Training Package: provides a consistent and reliable set of components for training, and for recognising and assessing learners’ skills; and may also have optional support materials enables nationally recognised qualifications to be awarded through direct assessment of workplace competencies encourages the development and delivery of flexible training that suits learner and industry requirements strongly encourages learning and assessment in a work-related environment, which leads to verifiable workplace outcomes. Training Packages specify the skills and knowledge required to perform effectively in the workplace. They do not prescribe how an individual should be trained. Trainers and supervisors develop learning strategies ‒ the ‘how’ ‒ depending on learner needs, abilities and circumstances. The Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy ensures that qualifications, units of competency and assessment requirements are developed to an agreed quality standard and are responsive to industry’s existing and future demand for new skills. The following key principles underpin the process. Open and inclusive industry-driven continuous improvement, validation and endorsement of Training Packages. Strong and clear key stakeholder roles with critical points of intervention and consultation. Highly responsive process, capable of meeting industry needs and priorities for new skills. Industry Skills Council (ISC) responsibility and accountability for the quality and relevance of Training Packages. More information about Training Packages may be found at: https://www.education.gov.au/training-packages 1 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 The CPP Property Services Training Package consists of the following endorsed components. Units of competency, which specify the standards of performance required in the workplace. Assessment requirements, which are associated with each unit of competency and specify the performance evidence, knowledge evidence and assessment conditions for assessment. Qualifications, which comply with the AQF specification for that qualification type, and describe a combination of units of competency that provide a meaningful outcome at an industry or enterprise level. Credit arrangements, which specify any arrangements that exist between the Training Package qualifications and higher education qualifications (at the time of endorsement of CPP Training Package no national credit arrangements exist). Del i ver y and as se s sment of Trai ni ng Packages Training and assessment for the purpose of national recognition must be conducted by an RTO with the qualifications and specific units of competency on its scope of registration. RTOs wishing to deliver material not on their scope of registration will need to work in partnership with RTOs that do have the material on scope. RTOs are responsible for ensuring that training and assessment are conducted by appropriately qualified practitioners and comply with the relevant requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 (http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2014L01377). Additional information relating to assessment and assessors is contained in the assessment requirements template for each unit of competency. Reasonabl e ad just ment Reasonable adjustment refers to adjustments that can be made to the way in which evidence of candidate performance can be collected. While reasonable adjustments can be made in terms of the way in which evidence of performance is gathered, the evidence criteria for decisions about competency – ‘competent’ or ‘not yet competent’ – should not be altered in any way. That is, the standards expected should be the same irrespective of the group and/or individual being assessed; otherwise comparability of standards will be compromised. Assessors may need to consider and apply reasonable adjustment when conducting assessment and gathering evidence in relation to the assessment requirements of CPP units of competency. 2 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 3 About CPP Property Services Training Package 3.1 CPP ver sion control and mo d ification histor y CPP Property Services Training Package modification history Version number Release date C o m m e nt s 2.0 8 September 2015 Endorsement for the: ▪ ▪ revision of one qualification equivalent to its superseded version in CPP07: CPP30115 Certificate III in Urban Pest Management revision of fifteen units of competency equivalent to their superseded versions in CPP07: CPPCMN3004 Respond to enquiries and complaints CPPPMT3002 Assess, advise on options, and develop pest management plans for complex or high risk operations CPPPMT3005 Manage pests without applying pesticides CPPPMT3006 Manage pests by applying pesticides CPPPMT3007 Implement pest management plans for complex or high risk operations CPPPMT3008 Inspect for and report on timber pests CPPPMT3010 Control timber pests CPPPMT3011 Manage organisms by applying fumigants to commodities and environments CPPPMT3017 Maintain, service and repair pest management equipment CPPPMT3018 Maintain equipment and pesticide storage area in pest management vehicles CPPPMT3019 Organise and monitor pest management operations CPPPMT3026 Select pest management vehicle and equipment CPPPMT3029 Plan and schedule pest management operations CPPPMT3042 Install physical termite management systems CPPPMT3043 Prepare and present pest management proposals for complex or high risk operations.

Qualifications typically comprise a number of mandatory core units that are required across the entire industry and a number of elective units that can be chosen to suit industry sector, and regulatory, enterprise, professional or individual requirements. CPP qual i f i cat i ons CPP Property Services Training Package qualifications comply with all aspects of the AQF 2013 descriptor for that qualification type. The AQF provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for all qualifications in post-compulsory education and training in Australia. In the VET sector it assists national consistency for all trainees, learners, employers and providers by enabling national recognition of qualifications and Statements of Attainment. For a full explanation of the AQF, refer to the AQF Second Edition (January 2013), which may be found at www.aqf.edu.au.

There are no units of competency in CPP Property Services Training Package with prerequisite unit requirements. 4 Key work and skill requirements in CPP 4.1 Abou t the b u ilding design d r afting ind ustr y The drafting occupation plays an important role in a diverse range of businesses, including architectural and building design practices and building companies. There are generally two significant pathways into the drafting industry. Approximately half of the entrants are Year 12 school leavers. The other half come from a blend of educational pathways and work backgrounds, including mature age workers seeking a career change, and those from sectors relating to drafting. The destinations of recent graduates of existing entry level drafting qualifications are also diverse, with building design practices being dominant (approximately 40%), followed by architectural practices (approximately 30%). A smaller number (approximately 10%) become self-employed drafters, while others (approximately 16%) find work in other sectors that require drafting skills. The other sectors employing graduates include construction companies, project home builders, local government, and engineering firms. Irrespective of career destination for graduates, there is anecdotal evidence that most employers prefer graduates with a minimum of one year of work experience translating theoretical knowledge into practical industry skills. From this perspective, some form of work-based cadetship or traineeship is seen by industry as a desirable pathway into the industry. 15 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 T ypes of dr af t ing proj ect s On a national level, drafters typically work on the following types of projects. Single residential dwellings (new and extensions or renovations) Multi-unit residential dwellings Medium density residential dwellings Commercial buildings, such as offices, restaurants and shops Most drafters assist and work under the supervision and instruction of an architect or building designer to gather and produce a range of technically accurate and compliant documentation and drawings as part of the planning and building approval processes. Using contemporary tools and industry-specific software, drafters carry out a range of tasks that typically include: collecting and storing project information researching and evaluating construction legislation, codes, standards, methods and materials setting up computer aided design (CAD) and building information modelling (BIM) software files and producing digital building designs analysing and checking building designs for compliance with legislation, codes and standards producing documentation for planning and building approval providing support to building project designers. A skilled drafter requires a sound understanding of building construction methods, materials, codes and standards to add value to a building design team in developing compliant documentation for planning and building approval. Often people with a background in building trades become successful drafters. Chal leng es f or t he build ing desig n dr af t ing sect or f ut ur e Two changes facing drafters and the building design sector more broadly are: growing and changing compliance requirements increasing use of BIM-capable software. These changes require the upskilling and re-skilling of some of the existing drafting workforce. 4.2 Abou t the p est management i ndustr y Pest management technicians require well developed customer service skills as well as a sound knowledge of pests and integrated pest management. A pest management technician mostly works alone, operating from a vehicle carrying a range of pesticides to treat various pests as well as equipment and materials required for the particular types of jobs scheduled for each working day. Whether working for a larger company – with a work order supplied by the business – or as an owner operator, the pest management technician must be self-managing in terms of ensuring the timeliness, efficiency, effectiveness, safety and quality of all aspects of the work at each site. 16 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 5 Regulatory and licensing implications for implementation 5.1 Licensing requirements fo r b uilding d esign d rafting The model and requirements for building design drafting differ in each State and are summarised in the table below. The regulatory departmental names and contact details provided in the table below are subject to change, and users are advised to check with source. It is recommended that CPP Property Services Training Package users contact the relevant state or territory department(s) to confirm regulatory and licensing requirements that may apply. Licensing requirements: Building design drafting Jurisdiction L i c e n s i n g a ut h o r i t y Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Planning and Land Authority http://www.actpla.act.gov.au ACT does not have a licensing requirement for building design drafting. New South (NSW) Wales Building Professionals Board www.bpb.nsw.gov.au NSW does not have a licensing requirement for building design drafting. Northern (NT) Territory Building Practitioners Board http://www.bpb.nt.gov.au/practitioners NT does not have a licensing requirement for building design drafting. Queensland (Qld) Queensland Building and Construction Commission http://www.qbcc.qld.gov.au Qld requires a licence for building design drafting. South Australia (SA) Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure http://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/ SA does not have a licensing requirement for building design drafting. Tasmania (Tas) Building Standards and Occupational Licensing, Department of Justice www.justice.tas.gov.au Tas requires accreditation to work in building design drafting. Victoria (Vic) Victorian Building Authority http://www.vba.vic.gov.au Vic requires registration to work in building design drafting. Western (WA) Australia Building Commission http://www.buildingcommission.wa.gov.au WA does not have a licensing requirement for building design drafting. Table 9: Licensing requirements for building design drafting 17 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 In addition to specific regulatory or licensing requirements for working as a drafter or building designer, companies and personnel must comply with environmental, industrial and work health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations. The work health and safety regulators for each state and territory are listed in the Industry health and safety implications section of this Guide (page 27). 5.2 Licensing requirements fo r p est man agem ent Pest management is a licensed occupation, where the minimum requirement for operating as an independent pest manager in all jurisdictions except Western Australia (WA) is the completion of the skill set CPPSS00046 Manage non-timber pests. There are two other skill sets used for licensing and these are: CPPSS00045 Manage complex fumigation operations CPPSS00047 Manage timber pests. Many people employed in the pest management industry will complete one or more of these skill sets, depending on the core business of the company employing them, or if entering into the sector themselves, on which services they wish to offer as an owner operator. The use of these skill sets for licensing sub-sectors of the industry goes some way to explaining the relatively low enrolment and completion figures for the Certificate III in Pest Management compared to the number of companies and technicians operating in the pest management sector. Western Australia allows for a person who has achieved competence in the unit CPPPMT3006 Manage pests by applying pesticides to obtain a provisional licence. This provisional licence is valid for 12 months – to continue to practise as a pest management technician, provisional licence holders in WA must achieve the Certificate III in Urban Pest Management (13 units of competency) over a period of 12 months. It is recommended that CPP Property Services Training Package users contact the relevant state or territory department(s) to confirm regulatory and licensing requirements that may apply.

Training Packages are version controlled and users are advised to check training.gov.au for the latest version of CPP. From 2015 onwards, further versions of this Training Package will be released as more qualifications, skill sets and units of competency are transitioned into CPP from CPP07. Tr a i ni ng a nd a s ses s me nt pa thw a ys Pathways generally define a path or sequence of learning or experiences that can be followed to attain competency. They are not mandatory and may vary depending on the qualification or training program and the needs of the learner. They should be based on the learner’s education and experience and the needs of the workplace as required. Assessment by any pathway must comply with the assessment requirements associated with the unit of competency and the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment. Ma i nta i ni ng c urrenc y To effectively deliver units of competency from CPP Property Services Training Package, trainers and assessors will need to maintain currency of knowledge, skills and industry experience. CPSISC strongly recommends that to maintain their vocational currency, trainers and assessors should have undertaken work experience or professional development related to the industry sector for the respective qualification within the past two years. T he building desig n dr af t ing sect or Examples of maintaining currency in the building design drafting sector include: working in a building design company providing planning and/or building permit advice to clients with reference to current codes, standards and local authority requirements undertaking training in the use of BIM-capable software undertaking activities to become familiar with the latest changes to the National Construction Code. T he pest m anag em ent indust r y Pest management technicians need to constantly update information regarding licensing requirements in different States and Territories and regulatory requirements relating to the use of pesticides. Membership of an industry association supports pest management technicians in maintaining currency of information in these areas. As sessment condi t i ons The assessment requirements document that relates to each CPP unit of competency contains an Assessment Conditions section that lists a range of requirements for assessment, typically under the following categories: 20 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 equipment materials specifications relationships with team member and supervisor relationship with clients. Where training and assessment are conducted in a real work site, safety and workplace induction requirements for RTO staff and learners may apply. In these situations, RTOs must ensure that any requirements to access and operate on the work site are met. This may include the safe handling and operation of plant, equipment and materials. When training and assessment are conducted in a close simulation to the workplace, RTOs are also required to ensure that safety requirements related to the simulated work site (including plant, equipment and materials) are met. 21 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 2 Industry sectors and occupation al outcomes of CPP qualifications 2.1 Indu str y sectors co vered in CPP qua lificat io ns The table below details the sectors covered in CPP Property Services Training Package. Industry sectors covered in CPP Sector C o d e i d e n t if i e r Building design drafting BDN Pest management PMT Table 11: Industry sectors covered in CPP 2.2 Occupatio nal outcom es of C PP quali ficatio n s Qualifications in Training Packages are usually aligned to occupational outcomes for each of the industry-specific sectors. Occupational outcomes of CPP qualifications Q u a l if i c a t i o n O c c u p at i o n a l o u t c om e C o m m e nt s CPP30115 Certificate III in Urban Pest Management This qualification reflects the roles of pest management technicians who identify common urban pests, assess pest problems, consider pest management options, develop pest management plans, liaise with customers and implement pest management strategies. Pest Management Technician Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to pest management in all States and Territories. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements. In most cases, the technician will work alone and have responsibility for managing chemicals and equipment used in pest management as well as for a pest management vehicle, including the vehicle storage area. In the case of complex or high risk operations the technician may work as part of a team. CPP40115 Certificate IV in Building Design Drafting This entry level qualification into the building design industry provides building design drafters with the competencies required to support building designers or architects. Building design drafters may work on a wide range of building design projects, including high rise commercial projects, under the supervision and instruction of an appropriately licensed or Draftsperson Assistant Building Designer Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to building design drafting in different states and territories. In some jurisdictions, a Certificate IV in Building Design Drafting may lead to licensing to perform some types of building 22 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 Occupational outcomes of CPP qualifications Q u a l if i c a t i o n O c c u p at i o n a l o u t c om e C o m m e nt s accredited architect or building designer. design work. The role of the drafter includes using BIM-capable current industry standard building design software to produce drawings and documentation required by clients and stakeholders, and for the planning and building authorisation processes. It also involves researching and applying relevant information, including drawings and reports from other construction professionals and compliance requirements relevant to specific projects. The drafter also provides administrative support to the design team, including data collection and storage, and file management. Candidates are advised to consult with the relevant regulatory authorities. Table 12: Occupational outcomes of CPP qualifications 3 Entry requirements for CPP qualifications Entry requirements are the skills, knowledge and experience required to enter a qualification. These requirements may be expressed in terms of competency from a lower level qualification or vocational expertise – including job roles – or both; and where they exist, they must be demonstrated prior to entering the qualification or being issued the qualification. Where entry requirements exist for a qualification, they are stipulated at qualification outset. 4 Pathways advice in line with requirements of the AQF Pathways Policy The AQF provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for qualifications in compulsory post-education and training in Australia. The framework helps to provide consistency in the VET sector for all trainees, learners, employers and providers by enabling recognition of qualifications and Statements of Attainment. The framework enables learners to have flexible pathways than can cover more than one provider, pathways that are horizontal (across AQF qualifications at the same level) and vertical (between qualifications at different levels), and eliminates unnecessary and unfair barriers to AQF qualifications. 23 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 4.1 Pathw ays ad vi ce for buildi ng design draftin g CPP40115 Certificate IV in Building Design Drafting is an entry-level qualification into the building design industry. It is has been designed to meet the needs of drafters working under the supervision of an experienced building designer or architect. In some jurisdictions, successful completion of the qualification may lead to licensing to perform some types of building design work. The qualification has the potential to be completed by recognition of prior learning as well as by workplace assessment for drafters currently working in the building design industry but without a formal qualification. Graduates of CPP40115 could progress to CPP50911 Diploma of Building Design. To promote pathways into CPP50911, the packaging rules of CPP40115 contain a number of units that are also in the packaging rules of CPP50911. CPP50911 applies to building designers who undertake building design projects covered by the Building Code of Australia (BCA), except very complex buildings, and leads to licensing or registration to perform building design work in several jurisdictions. It is envisaged that after further work experience in the industry, graduates of CPP50911 could progress to senior building designers in larger enterprises or establish their own building design practices. To progress to the next level, it is envisaged that graduates of CPP50911 would undertake CPP80113 Graduate Certificate in Building Design, which applies to senior building designers undertaking more complicated building projects. CPP80113 also provides a direct pathway to CPP80213 Graduate Diploma of Building Design with three of the four core units of both qualifications being identical. CPP80213 was developed for senior building designers responsible for leading and managing a building design practice, including responsibility for strategic planning, team development and business development. The building design qualifications CPP50911, CPP80113, and CPP80213 are in the CPP07 Property Services Training Package. 4.2 Pathw ays ad vi ce for pest management Currently, there are no formal training pathways into the pest management industry. In States and Territories where a full Certificate III in Urban Pest Management is not required for licensing, a person can commence work in the industry by completing the CPPSS00046 Manage non-timber pests skill set or other units in the Certificate III. A person could complete one or more of the pest management skill sets and gain credit towards the complete qualification. 4.3 Credit arr an gement s for C PP qualifications At the time of endorsement of CPP Training Package no national credit arrangements between qualifications in CPP and higher education qualifications exist for building design drafting qualifications. 5 Access and equity considerations An individual’s access to the assessment process should not be adversely affected by restrictions placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in the CPP Property Services Training Package and must be bias-free. Training Packages must reflect and cater for the increasing diversity of Australia’s VET clients and Australia’s current and future workforce. The flexibilities offered by Training Packages should enhance opportunities and potential outcomes for all people so that we can all benefit from a wider national skills base and a shared contribution to Australia’s economic development and social and cultural life. 24 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 Reasonabl e ad just ment It is important that education providers take meaningful, transparent and reasonable steps to consult, consider and implement reasonable adjustments for disadvantaged learners. Under the Disability Standards for Education 2005, education providers must make reasonable adjustments for people with a disability to the maximum extent that those adjustments do not cause that provider unjustifiable hardship. While ‘reasonable adjustment’ and ‘unjustifiable hardship’ are different concepts and involve different considerations, they both seek to strike a balance between the interests of education providers and the interests of people with and without disability. An adjustment is any measure or action that a learner requires because of their disability, which has the effect of assisting the learner to access and participate in education and training on the same basis as those without a disability. An adjustment is reasonable if it achieves this purpose while taking into account factors such as the nature of the learner’s disability, the views of the learner, the potential effect of the adjustment on the learner and others who might be affected, and the costs and benefits of making the adjustment. An education provider is also entitled to maintain the academic integrity of a course or program and to consider the requirements or components that are inherent or essential to its nature when assessing whether an adjustment is reasonable. The Disability Standards for Education 2005 and the Disability Standards for Education Guidance Notes may be downloaded at http://education.gov.au/disability-standards-education 6 Foundation skills The term ‘foundation skills’ in CPP units of competency is used to describe language, literacy and numeracy skills that are essential to performance in the unit. CPP Property Services Training Package uses the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) performance feature information to describe the nature of the foundation skills demanded by the unit. The ACSF has been developed to facilitate a consistent national approach to identifying and developing core skills in diverse personal, community, work, and education and training contexts. It provides a rich, detailed picture of real life performance in the five core skills of: learning reading writing oral communication numeracy. It offers: shared concepts and language for identifying, describing and discussing core skills a systematic approach to benchmarking, monitoring and reporting on core skill performance. (Source: DEEWR, Revised ACSF: 2012) The ACSF is a freely available government-developed tool that describes language, literacy and numeracy (or core) skills in the numerous contexts in which individuals work, learn and communicate. The ACSF is a key component of the infrastructure which exists to support and improve adult learning. The ACSF is recognised by all state and territory governments. 25 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 It may be accessed via http://www.industry.gov.au/skills/ForTrainingProviders/AustralianCoreSkillsFramework/Pages /default.aspx In CPP units of competency, foundation skill descriptors have been adapted using the ACSF as a reference point, in order to provide an example of the foundation skills required for the successful performance of the unit in the areas of learning, reading, writing, oral communication and numeracy. RTOs are advised to assess foundations skills (language literacy and numeracy [LLN]) of prospective candidates prior to them enrolling in the qualification or related units of competency. Each RTO will need to make a decision as to whether the individual candidate possesses the LLN skills to successfully complete the qualification and what additional support the candidate will require to successfully undertake the qualification. 26 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 7 Industry health and safety implications 7.1 Buil ding d esign drafti ng ind ustr y he alth a nd safet y There are several WHS hazards and risks associated with the work of building design drafters. Some of these hazards and risks occur in the office environment in which drafting work is performed, as well as on existing and future construction sites. Some of these WHS hazards and risks are identified in various building design drafting units. Building design drafters need to be aware of Safe Work Australia’s Safe Design of Structures – Code of Practice, July 2012. This model Code of Practice has been developed to provide practical guidance to persons conducting a business who design structures that will be used, or could reasonably be expected to be used, as a workplace. This includes architects, building designers and engineers. The Code is also relevant for anyone making decisions that influence the design outcome, such as clients, developers and builders. The Code of Practice may be accessed via http://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/sites/swa/about/publications/pages/safedesign-of-structures To have legal effect in a jurisdiction, the model Code of Practice must be adopted as a code of practice in that jurisdiction. To determine if this model Code of Practice has been adopted in a particular jurisdiction, check with the relevant building regulator listed in the ‘Licensing’ section above and the WHS regulator listed in the following table. State and territory w ork health and safety regulators State R e g u l a t or Australian Capital Territory (ACT) www.worksafe.act.gov.au New South Wales (NSW) www.workcover.nsw.gov.au Northern Territory (NT) www.worksafe.nt.gov.au Queensland (QLD) www.worksafe.qld.gov.au South Australia (SA) www.safework.sa.gov.au Tasmania (TAS) www.worksafe.tas.gov.au Victoria (VIC) www.worksafe.vic.gov.au Western Australia (WA) www.commerce.wa.gov.au/WorkSafe/ Table 13: State and territory work health and safety regulators 7.2 Pest man agement ind ustr y h ealth an d saf et y Health and safety issues in the pest management industry relate to: the use of pesticides and fumigants and their impacts on personal and public health pest behaviour and the impacts of pest actions hazards at work site environments the potential impact on the environment. Legislation and regulations, including work health and safety, public health and safety and environmental safety, govern the controlled use of pesticides and fumigants to manage pests and other organisms. 27 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 Pest management technicians need to be aware of the effects of pest behaviour and the impacts of their actions – such as dealing with spider bites or wasp stings – and the effects of termite action on wooden structures. Pest management technicians must also assess each new work site that they visit for general hazards before inspecting for pests or treating the area. The licensing requirements in different States and Territories reflect the need for pest management technicians to be competent in assessing risks, implementing integrated pest management options, and using pest management methods appropriately.

CPSISC has, however, developed Delivery and Assessment Guides for CPP30115 Certificate III in Urban Pest Management, which may be accessed at http://www.cpsisc.com.au/productcategories/property-delivery-assessment-guides. Assessment requirements documents will specify any mandatory resource and equipment requirements for assessing a unit of competency in their Assessment Conditions sections. For information on resources and equipment, Training Package users are also advised to check the Range of Conditions section of CPP units of competency. These Range of Conditions sections specify essential operating conditions that affect the performance of a unit. RTOs will need to have resources and equipment to address the Range of Conditions items as part of the training and assessment of these units. For example, many building design drafting units require access to the National Construction Code (NCC) and the Building Code of Australia (BCA), as well as access to current BIMcapable software used in the building design industry. The NCC and BCA may be accessed by contacting the Australian Building Controls Board via http://www.abcb.gov.au. 30 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 9 Legal considerations for learners Legal requirements for learners in the workplace or involved in work experience that apply to industry-specific sectors covered in CPP Property Services vary across each State and Territory and can change from time to time. Users should contact the relevant state or territory training authorities provided in Section C3 on page 33 of this Implementation Guide to check if legal requirements apply. Work placements should always involve appropriate supervision and guidance from individuals in the workplace as well as from the RTO’s trainers and assessors, and must adhere to required legislation that applies in the jurisdiction. For example, RTOs and employers must ensure that learners meet appropriate WHS requirements while on a construction site. Apprenticeships and traineeships are formal training arrangements between an employer and an employee that have been established by a state or territory training authority. Where a qualification is used for an apprenticeship or traineeship, the training has to be recognised by the state or territory training authority. This includes the form and registration of indenture. Current apprenticeship and traineeship legislation and successor legislation is defined in: Australian Capital Territory: Training and Tertiary Education Act 2003 New South Wales: Apprenticeship and Traineeship Act 2001 Northern Territory: Northern Territory Employment and Training Act 1991 Queensland: Vocational Education, Training and Employment Act 2000 South Australia: Training and Skills Development Act 2008 Tasmania: Vocational Education and Training Act 1994 Victoria: Education and Training Reform Act 2006 Western Australia: Vocational Education and Training Act 1996. 10 Further information relevant to implementing CPP Where imported units of competency are used as part of CPP Property Services qualifications, RTOs must consider and meet the specific training and assessment requirements of those imported units and their parent Training Packages. These requirements may include specific legal, WHS, resourcing and equipment requirements, as well as unique trainer and assessor requirements, including industry experience. 31 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 Part C: Links 1 Useful industry links Industry links O r g a n i s at i o n Detail Contact CPSISC Resource Centre http://www.cpsisc.com.au/ Training Packages Careers Workforce Development Workplace Communication and WELL White Card, OHS and WHS Glossary Australian Building Controls Board Australian Environmental Managers Association http://www.abcb.gov.au/ National Association Australian Pest Control Association Building Australia http://www.aepma.com.au/ Pest http://www.pestcontrol.org.au/ Designers http://www.bdaa.com.au/ 2 General links General links Link Detail Contact Australian Apprenticeships site Offers information about traineeships and apprenticeships and includes links to state and territory authorities that monitor provision www.australianapprenticeships.gov .au Australian Quality (ASQA) Skills Authority Australian Qualifications Framework Department Education Training Industry Councils www.asqa.gov.au Second Edition, January 2013 of and Skills www.aqf.edu.au https://education.gov.au/ www.isc.org.au 32 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02 General links Link Detail Contact LiteracyNet Key information about Australian adult literacy activities and links to a range of program, professional development, resource and research sites http://www.industry.gov.au/skills/Fo rTrainingProviders/LiteracyNet/Pag es/default.aspx National Foundation Skills Strategy for Adults http://www.industry.gov.au/skills/Fo rTrainingProviders/NationalFoundat ionSkillsStrategyForAdults/Pages/d efault.aspx National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) VET Information Portal, Training Authorities TGA website Training Packages components and their https://www.ncver.edu.au www.training.gov.au 3 State training authorities State training authorities State Contact Australian Capital Territory http://www.det.act.gov.au/home New South Wales http://www.training.nsw.gov.au Northern Territory http://www.education.nt.gov.au Queensland http://training.qld.gov.au South Australia http://www.statedevelopment.sa.gov.au/skills Tasmania http://www.education.tas.gov.au Victoria http://www.education.vic.gov.au Western Australia http://www.dtwd.wa.gov.au 33 CPP Property Services Training Package Implementation Guide Version 2 CPSISC Office Use Only: FD.02
