CPC50611 - Diploma of Hydraulic Services Design

Diploma of Hydraulic Services Design

This qualification provides an outcome for:

specialist hydraulic design consultants who design plumbing and services systems for residential and commercial buildings.

Occupational titles may include:

Hydraulic design consultant.

The qualification has core and elective unit of competency requirements that cover common administration and plumbing industry skills plus specialist design competencies. This qualification does not meet the competency requirements for plumbing registration or licensing.

The plumbing industry strongly affirms that training and assessment leading to recognition of skills must be undertaken in a real or very closely simulated workplace environment and this qualification requires all units of competency to be delivered in this context.

NB: Completion of the general induction training program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction Training for Construction Work (ASCC 2007) is required before entering a construction work site. Achievement of unit CPCCOHS1001A covers this requirement.

Subjects

Packaging rules

This qualification has an entry requirement of CPC40909 Certificate IV in Plumbing and Services - Hydraulic services design stream, or an equivalent qualification.

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

34 units of competency:

31 core units

3 elective units.

One of the three elective units may be selected from a Diploma qualification from CPC08 or another current Training Package, or from the core or elective units of another stream within CPC50408 Diploma of Plumbing and Services, ensuring both the integrity of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) alignment and the industry context of the qualification is maintained.
