Revision of Concrete Construction, Concrete Production, Floor and Wall Tiling, and Solid Plastering qualifications
The Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation has revised the qualifications listed above.
Date new versions published May 2008
The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2009 except for the Floor and Wall Tiling qualification which will be reviewed during 2011.
Reason for the revision
The qualifications were revised following review of the Carpentry and Carpentry Theory standards. Standard 13036, which is compulsory in these qualifications, decreased in credits by one, thus necessitating revision of the qualifications. The opportunity was taken to make formatting changes, to update details of reviewed standards, and to update the special notes.
