Description
Course Description
The VCE VET Building Construction course (partial completion of Certificate II in Building & Construction) is designed to provide the skills required for a successful career in building construction. Students are introduced to occupational health and safety procedures, communication, work organisation, plan reading, equipment and tool use.
Contribution to the VCE
Upon completion of the VCE VET program, students will have achieved credits towards the pre-apprenticeship certificate. Students wishing to complete the entire pre-apprenticeship certificate will need to undertake modules beyond the requirements of the VCE VET program.
The modules in the program have been grouped to form Unit 1-2 and Unit 3-4 sequences for VCE recognition purposes.
This course will satisfy learning outcomes for the industry specific skills and work related skills strands in the VCAL program.
Pathways
This course has been designed to articulate with Certificate II in General Construction (Carpentry Pre-Apprenticeship) and Traineeship for Construction Worker – General Construction and Carpentry Apprenticeship.
