Yes, it's the same AQF-registered CPC40920 qualification, issued by an ASQA-registered RTO no matter which pathway you use to get it. RPL doesn't produce a different or reduced version of the credential.
This qualification supports roles like Plumbing Contractor and Hydraulic Designer, covering technical design, site supervision and compliance that a plumbing business needs. As plumbing is a licensed trade, you'll still need to meet your state or territory's separate contractor licensing requirements to operate your own business.
