Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to prepare, set out and install wall frames, partitions and wall linings to areas such as fitting or treatment rooms in internal shop areas. It includes fitting doors and windows, fixing mouldings and installing fixtures.
It applies to shopfitters engaged in creating new shops or renovating existing shops. The work is completed onsite concurrently with other shopfitting work that must be scheduled to accommodate client requirements, the shop when it is operational, and the requirements of other shopfitters and associated contractors.
Individuals at this level take responsibility for organising and completing these tasks with a high degree of self-direction.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of publication.
Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the Safe Work Australia modelCode of Practice: Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work. Achievement ofCPCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industrymeets this requirement.
