How the RPL process works (and what your CPC32420 kit includes)
Step 1 — Initial Enquiry / Enrolment Form
Candidate provides background, goals and evidence overview. Forms are clear and quick to complete.
Step 2 — Self-Assessment Kit
Candidate checks requirements, reviews examples of acceptable evidence, and identifies documents such as:
- Plumbing work orders, service logs, and job cards
- Diagrams or plans marked up during projects
- Evidence of installing pipe systems, sanitary fixtures, gas lines, or roofing components
- Safety and compliance documentation (e.g., SWMS, OHS reports)
- CV, trade licence details, position descriptions, professional development records, and references.
Step 3 — Competency Conversation Kit (Assessor-led)
Structured question bank with unit-specific prompts and key points to look for. Example:
- “How do you ensure correct fall in drainage systems to meet regulatory requirements?”
- “What steps do you take when pressure testing water supply systems?”
Decision rules, model prompts and note spaces make assessor judgements consistent.
Step 4 — Practical Observation Task
On-site or virtual observation with a detailed observation checklist covering:
- Installing and connecting pipework
- Testing systems for leaks or pressure
- Setting out and installing sanitary and roofing systems
- Applying safety protocols and using PPE correctly
