STEP 1. Learn about skills, knowledge and experience that you need

Qualifications

If you have successfully completed the following qualification, you will

satisfy some of the technical knowledge required for Insulation work:

• Certificate III in Wall and Ceiling lining (CPC31211), including the

below required units of competency:

o Install batt insulation products (CPCCPB3014A)

o Install acoustic and thermal environmental protection systems (CPCCPB3015A)

o Install ceiling insulation (CPCCPB3027A)

Other relevant units of competency include:

o Arrange building applications and approvals (CPCCBC4026A)

o Produce labour and material schedules for ordering (CPCCBC4005A)

o Select and prepare a construction contract (CPCCBC4003A).

If you have not completed this certificate, the VBA will assess your

Insulation knowledge against the competencies included in the certificate.

Experience

So the VBA can assess whether you have the required experience in this

component of domestic building work, you should provide a portfolio

(tables 1, 2 and 3) of evidence that demonstrates your experience. This

evidence must show you can carry out, and arrange or manage the carrying

out of all the activities associated with Insulation work in a competent

manner and to a professional standard.

Your portfolio should include evidence of:

• your experience in the areas that you tick in table 1

• your participation in Insulation work for the three different residential

projects that you note in table 2. This work must cover your use of at

least two different types of insulation material, and a mix of:

o the installation of ceiling thermal insulation to class 1 and 2buildings as defined by the Building Code of Australia (BCA)

o the installation of wall thermal insulation to class 1 and 2 buildingsas defined by the BCA

o the installation of acoustic thermal insulation to class 1 and 2buildings as defined by the BCA

• your knowledge and application of the National Construction Code and

relevant Australian Standards.
