Duration

Entry requirements

You must be employed by a Choices Flooring store or one of its regular sub-contractors. To be eligible, students must be at least 16 years of age.

As this is an apprenticeship, you must have a training agreement with a registered employer from a relevant industry.

Prior to enrolment or commencement of training applicants will complete a pre-training review and may be required to complete a literacy and numeracy assessment. These will assist with determining suitability to the course, verify the training plan and identify any learning support needs.

Apprenticeship

A training contract must be completed by the employer and apprentice within the first two weeks of employment.

An Australian Apprenticeship Support Network representative will visit the workplace to complete the training contract with the employer and the apprentice.

Visit Australian apprenticeships.gov.au for more information.

If you have further questions about your application, please contact the CTI admin team on studentsupport@ctitraining.com.au.

What will I learn?

This qualification provides you with a nationally recognised trade and with the required skills and knowledge to become a Flooring Technician who installs floors or flooring materials (carpet, timber, vinyl, resilient, resin or concrete) in residential or commercial premises.

Flooring technicians use a range of technical knowledge to perform skilled work involving known routines, methods and procedures. They use discretion and judgement to adapt and transfer their skills and knowledge to different job needs and take responsibility for their own work.

Proven work experience
Life experiences (including voluntary work and leisure pursuits)
Previous study (Qualifications, industry training, professional development programs or units)

RPL can be conducted via online delivery and through workplace training.

If a student fails to demonstrate competency in some units required to gain the qualification, Gap Training is used to gain competency in those units. It can be customised to suit the individual client needs. Up to 4 units of gap training are included in your RPL Fee. Additional fees apply for further gap training units.
