Certificate IV in Building & Construction (Building)

Study requirements

To be eligible to enrol in our online qualifications, our students are required to:

Be 18 years or older at the time of registration.

Demonstrate the required level of competency in English language, literacy, and numeracy skills.

The required level of competency in English language, literacy, and numeracy skills for diploma and certificate IV qualifications is ACSF Level 3. You may be required to complete a language, literacy, and numeracy test if English is not your first language, and you do not hold any nationally recognised Australian qualifications. Upon enrolment, you will also be assessed over time by your learning coach for your language, literacy, and numeracy skills. Where these levels fall below the requisite ACSF standard for the qualification, the coach will advise you of the remedial options open to you. This may involve additional support or withdrawal of enrolment and refund of fees paid. Please refer to the relevant CAL policies and the student handbook for full details of the entry-level requirements’ procedure.
