Qualification description

This qualification reflects the role of individuals involved in manufacturing, processing, moving or installing various types of glass products. Job roles may be in glass processing, glazing or designed glazing in both residential and commercial operations. Workers 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 within organisational parameters. In some states and territories there may be licensing requirements that link to this qualification, and other licensing requirements where the individual is required to work onsite. Depending on the jurisdiction, licensing or regulatory requirements may also apply to the use of some units in this qualification. Licensing of glazing work applies in Queensland, NSW and South Australia. Local regulations should be checked for details.

What evidence do RTOs usually accept?

Genuine RPL is assessed on real evidence. Every RTO sets its own requirements, but these are the kinds of things assessors commonly look for. You don’t need all of it to start — we’ll help you work out what you have.

  • Proof of work historyPayslips, employment contracts, letters from employers, an ABN and invoices if you’ve worked for yourself, or a detailed resume.
  • References and verificationStatements or referee reports from employers, supervisors or clients who can confirm the work you’ve done.
  • Samples of your workPhotos or videos of completed jobs, project lists, plans you’ve worked from, or examples of what you’ve produced.
  • Tickets, licences and short coursesAny cards, tickets, white cards, licences or short-course certificates you already hold.
  • A practical demonstrationMost RPL also involves showing your skills directly — a practical task or a competency conversation with a qualified assessor.

Licensing and registration

In many trades, a qualification is only one part of being allowed to do the work. Licensing is set by each state and territory — here’s where to check. Links go to the relevant regulator.

Builder and trade contractor licensing

Building work — and in some states individual trades — is licensed or registered. Thresholds, licence classes and experience requirements differ a lot between states, so check your regulator before quoting or contracting for work.
