Certificate IV in Civil Construction Operations

You'll learn how to manage civil construction workers and contractors and apply site work instructions to ensure the quantity and quality of outputs on-site.

Areas of study include:

• risk management and worksite safety
• operational plan implementation
• environmental management and supervision
• tendering and contracting
• supervising.

Existing workers with industry experience can also gain formal recognition for their current skills and competencies in this course through a combination of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and gap training.

To be awarded the RII40615 Certificate IV in Civil Construction Operations, a student must successfully complete a total of twelve (12) units of competency, comprising of:

• four (4) core units, and;
• eight (8) elective units, of which:
• at least four (4) units must be selected from Group A;
• at least two (2) units must be selected from Group B, and;
• two (2) units may be selected from elsewhere within the RII Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package, or from another endorsed training package, or from an accredited course.

All elective units selected from outside this qualification must reflect current occupational and learning outcomes of this AQF qualification level as well as be approved by the Polytechnic.

You may be able to complete your qualification sooner through formal recognition of your existing skills. This is known as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

To receive RPL, we assess your previous work, education and life experiences against recognised qualifications. Applications for RPL can be made prior to enrolling.
