Get recognised for the building and construction experience you have already built on site. The CPC40120 Certificate IV in Building and Construction covers structural principles, codes and standards, safe planning and supervision of building work, contract administration and quality management for Class 1 and 10 buildings up to two storeys and Class 2 to 9 Type C construction. Whether you have been running crews, supervising sites or managing small to medium building projects, RPL lets you turn that hands-on experience into this nationally recognised qualification through a formal assessment process with one of ATSR’s partner RTOs.

Assessors look at real evidence such as records of building code and standard compliance checks you've carried out on residential or commercial projects, and evidence of work health and safety management on building sites. This evidence is matched against each unit of the qualification to see where your on-the-job experience already covers what's required.
Yes, a Certificate IV in Building and Construction issued through RPL is the exact same nationally recognised qualification as one earned through full-time training, with identical units on the certificate. It's issued by the ASQA-registered RTO that assesses your evidence, not by ATSR, which guides candidates through the RPL pathway.
A Certificate IV in Building and Construction supports work as a Builder, Site Manager or Construction Supervisor and is one of the qualifications building licensing authorities commonly recognise as part of a builder's licence application. Licensing requirements are set by each state's building authority and can include more than the qualification itself, so it's worth checking what's needed where you work.
