Qualifications & Training
Before you launch into training someone, you need to identify what you want them trained in and to what level. The best place to start is to identify the level of training that would be appropriate.
There are six main levels of qualification applicable to civil construction in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) System. These range from an entry level Certificate I to Advanced Diploma level Certificate VI.
Currently Civil Train delivers Certificates I to IV.
Certificate I
This level of qualification can be considered a base or introductory level. This is most suitable for young people still at school.
Certificate II
This level is for someone looking for greater development than offered in a Certificate I but not the full trade qualification achieved in Certificate III – generally a skilled labourer.
Certificate III
This is a Trade level Qualification such as Certificate III in Civil Construction Plant Operations.
Certificate IV
This is a Supervisor level Qualification and Civil Train has both Certificate IV in Supervision and Operations on its scope of operations.
Once the level of training is identified, it is possible to select a specific training package which will allow the student to specialise and hone particular skills. These training packages are nationally recognised qualifications that outline the skills and knowledge that are obtained by the individual on completion of the qualification.
