It reflects the trade outcome for Roof Tilers set out by the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package, covering both regular and irregular roof tiling work across residential and commercial construction.

How It Works

Once your Student Agreement is signed and your initial payment is confirmed, your RPL journey begins — here's what to expect at each stage.

Collect Your Evidence

Using your personalised checklist, gather evidence that demonstrates your skills and experience. This may include employment records, certificates, photos, videos, or supervisor references. Your Navigator will guide you every step of the way.

Receive Your Enrolment & RPL Docs

We'll send your Enrolment Form and LLN Assessment to complete first. Following that, you'll receive your Self-Assessment Form and Third-Party Verification Form to work through carefully before moving to the next step.

Submit Your Completed Forms

Complete and sign all required forms, then return them along with your full evidence portfolio. Ensure every section is filled in, all signatures are included, and all supporting documents are attached before submitting.

Assessment and Competency Review

Your RTO Assessor will review and map your evidence against the required unit competencies. Where further clarification is needed, a competency conversation will be conducted to confirm your knowledge and skills.

Outcome Issued

Once assessed as competent across all required units, the RTO will formally issue your certificate or Statement of Attainment. Your real-world experience is now officially recognised as a nationally accredited qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get my Roof Tiling qualification through RPL without going back to full-time study?−

Yes — RPL recognises the roof tiling skills you already have through a genuine, formal assessment process, not a shortcut around it. You'll still need to provide real evidence of your work, which ATSR's partner RTO assesses against every unit in CPC30820 before the qualification is issued.

How much real-world roof tiling experience or evidence do I need for RPL?+

There's no fixed number of years — what matters is whether your evidence, such as job photos, work references, payslips and safety records, demonstrates every core skill in CPC30820. The more complete your portfolio of tiling, flashing and safety evidence, the clearer the picture for the assessor.

Is a Certificate III in Roof Tiling earned through RPL the same as one from full-time training?+

Yes — it's the exact same AQF-registered CPC30820 Certificate III in Roof Tiling, issued by Alpha Training & Recognition, ATSR's ASQA-registered partner RTO. RPL is simply a different, evidence-based pathway to that identical nationally recognised qualification.

What can I do with a Certificate III in Roof Tiling once I've got it?+

It's the standard trade qualification most states require before you can apply for a roof tiling licence, and it opens the door to roles like Roofing Supervisor or Roofing Contractor. Licensing requirements vary by state, so check with your local building authority.
