Entry requirements
There are no entry requirements for this qualification.
- Providers can set their own conditions, such as a minimum age or a current job in the industry, and practical training may need a workplace placement. Check each provider above.
- State and territory jurisdictions may have different licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements. Consult the relevant state and territory regulatory authorities to confirm those requirements. Completion of the general construction induction training program is required by anyone carrying out construction work, and CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
Entry recommendations
To be prepared for this course, it helps to have:
- an interest in working outdoors on buildings
- good hand skills and an eye for detail
- a careful attitude to safety on site
- the ability to work well in a team
What will you learn?
You learn to tile regular and irregular roofs, cut and fix valleys, valley irons and flashings, and renovate tile roofs that have worn or leaked. The rest of the course covers what every construction trade needs: reading plans, taking measurements, planning work and keeping safe on site. It is designed as an apprenticeship, so most of the practical skill comes from working on the job under an experienced tiler.
- Tiling regular and irregular roofs
- Working safely at heights
- Reading plans and specifications
- Measuring and calculating
- Repairing valleys and flashings
- Renovating existing tile roofs
