The CPC31420 Certificate III in Construction Waterproofing is a nationally recognised qualification designed for individuals seeking to develop the knowledge, practical skills and competencies required to undertake waterproofing work across residential and commercial construction projects. The qualification combines core construction competencies with specialised waterproofing skills to prepare graduates to perform waterproofing tasks safely, effectively and in accordance with relevant industry standards, workplace requirements and applicable legislative obligations.

Training is delivered face-to-face through a combination of classroom-based learning, practical workshop activities and simulated workplace experiences at Smart College's training facilities. Learning activities include trainer-led presentations, classroom discussions, demonstrations, practical exercises, case studies, group activities and simulated workplace projects. These activities are designed to develop the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to meet the needs and expectations of the construction waterproofing industry.

Training is delivered by qualified trainers and assessors in classes of no more than 20 VET students, maintaining a maximum trainer-to-student ratio of 1:20. The qualification follows a structured training schedule incorporating face-to-face instruction, supervised practical activities and assessment sessions.

In addition to scheduled classroom and practical training, VET students are expected to undertake structured learning activities outside scheduled class hours. These activities may include reviewing learning materials, completing assessment tasks, undertaking independent study and preparing for practical and theoretical assessments. This approach reinforces classroom learning and supports students in developing the knowledge and practical competencies required to successfully achieve the qualification.
