BCF30100 Certificate III in Off-Site Construction (Shopfitting)

Qualification: Certificate III (AQF)
Training Package: BCF00 Off-Site Construction
TAFE NSW Course No: 8121

This course is for apprentice shopfitters. You will gain skills and knowledge about how to work from plans and specifications to fabricate and install shopfronts, showcases and counters, exhibition stands, kitchen and bathroom cupboards, office fitments, and demountable and fixed partitions.

Career Opportunities: As this course addresses endorsed competency standards it provides a sound background in the Off-Site Construction Stream, which in turn will allow training to continue in other Off-Site and General Construction areas. These skills may lead to specialisation within the Construction sector and may also facilitate mobility for workers between sectors of industry, as skill demands vary. Learners will be able to pursue a career in building and construction from trade level to managerial level by articulating into post-trade courses, diploma, advanced diploma and university courses.

Articulation: At present there are no qualifications in the Off-Site Construction Training Package beyond the Certificate III. The course however does have common units of competence with other Off-Site Construction Training Package qualifications and these would be recognised through the relevant recognition processes. Students can also articulate into the following General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages and their qualifications.

Entry Requirements: There are no formal educational requirements for this course.
