This qualification reflects the trade qualified role of a bricklayer, blocklayer or paver who may have responsibility for undertaking heritage bricklaying, refractory bricklaying, bricklaying, blocklaying and paving work in residential, industrial and commercial contexts, in both existing and new constructions.

This qualification applies to job titles such as bricklayer, blocklayer and paver. The bricklaying, blocklaying and paving industry strongly affirms that training and assessment leading to recognition of skills must be undertaken in a real or closely simulated workplace environment and this qualification requires all units of competency to be delivered and assessed in this context.

Participants of CPC33020 – Certificate III in Bricklaying and Blocklaying course will be advised of the assessment requirements at the beginning of training of each unit. CPC33020 – Certificate III in Bricklaying and Blocklaying course assessments are the process of collecting evidence and making judgements about whether competency has been achieved to confirm whether an individual can perform to the standards expected in the workplace, as expressed in the relevant endorsed unit of competency.

Assessments are carried out in accordance with:
• Identified industry benchmarks and available best practice relevant for assessment.
• specific industry requirements.
• specific principles of assessment.
▪ rules of evidence.

Assessments will usually commence in the session following delivery and will require students to manage their workload and schedule assessment tasks accordingly. As this is a competency-based course, assessments continue throughout the course until the participant either achieves competency in their assessment tasks or a further training need is identified and addressed. Formative assessment is provided throughout the course in terms of practice.
This is achieved through using the tasks outlined in the learners’ resources as practice. Those tasks are separate to the summative assessment process that concludes each unit of competency.

The assessment process for all participants in CPC33020 – Certificate III in Bricklaying and Blocklaying course may include theory, projects and practical
assessments. Each unit in CPC33020 – Certificate III in Bricklaying and Blocklaying course has an individual assessment tool and mapping document which establishes the details of the assessment methodology including:

• Outlining the assessment methods.
• Providing instructions for the Assessor.
• Providing instructions for the students.
• Being mapped to the unit of competency through a separate mapping document.
• Ensuring assessment is summative.

All activities and projects are assessed by the assigned Trainer & Assessor and then returned to the student with feedback. Assessor’s feedback to students allows them to monitor their progress before progressing onto new activities so they may apply lessons learned in their previous assessments.
