The civil construction training package has undergone a major review. Significant changes to the structure of Certificate-level (traineeship) qualifications and units of competency are proposed, with the aim of ensuring the qualifications meet industry's changing needs.

The revision includes:

• An update of ten qualifications to clarify and strengthen career progression pathways for workers in civil construction – from entry-level civil construction workers through to senior civil works designers and civil construction managers.
  Deletion of one qualification, RII31215 Certificate III in Civil Foundations due to sustained low industry use and relevance.
  Creation of eight new units of competency to address training product gaps relating to tunnel boring machine operations, temporary traffic management and piling.
  Update of 166 units of competency used across civil construction and civil construction design to reflect current industry processes and requirements and clarify training outcomes.
