Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)


RPL is a formal process that recognises skills developed through previous training, work or life experience,
which match a unit of competency in a training course. If you believe you already have the skills covered in this
unit of competency, discuss this with your trainer, who will provide you with instructions for applying for RPL.

National Recognition / Credit Transfer


Qualifications or statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations are recognised by
the College. Where this unit of competency is equivalent to a unit of competency previously completed with
another provider, credit transfer will be offered and the course length adjusted accordingly. It is the responsibility
of the student to provide the relevant evidence of qualifications or statements of attainment issued by other
Registered Training Organisations, which will be verified by the College prior to credit transfer being applied.

Support Services
Your trainer/assessor is able to clarify any aspect of an assessment task prior to it being administered. This may
include clarifying: knowledge and skills covered during the training program; the meaning of written assessment
questions; performance standards for practical assessments; and marking criteria.
Once the assessment process has commenced however, the assessor is not able to provide any intervention or
guidance, unless it is to prevent an unsafe act from being performed.
Please ask for help when you need it, as your trainer/assessor may not be aware that you have not understood
aspects of the training program or are not feeling confident enough to engage in assessment activities.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of others and presenting them as your own. Plagiarism is a type of
intellectual theft. It can take many forms, from deliberate cheating to accidentally copying from a source without
acknowledgement. In your assessments you must come up with your own ideas, however, at times you may
need to make reference to work that has been conducted by others. Important points to be aware of:

 Know what plagiarism is – refer to http://www.plagiarism.org/ for more information

 Reference your work / acknowledge all of your sources

“All of the following are considered plagiarism:

 turning in someone else's work as your own


 copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
 failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
 giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
 changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
 copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you
give credit or not...”

Where a student plagiarises, the student will need to resubmit their work and will be given a first and
final warning for misconduct. If a student plagiarises a second time, their CoE may be cancelled
immediately for serious misconduct.

Question 2 What is the definition of a ‘wet area’ in accordance with the BCA?
In accordance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA), a 'wet area' is defined as an area within a building that is
intended or designed for frequent wetting, either by direct moisture exposure or by condensation. This includes
areas such as bathrooms, showers, laundries, toilets, and other spaces where water is used or where moisture
levels are consistently high. Wet areas are subject to specific building requirements to ensure proper
waterproofing, drainage, and moisture management to prevent damage and maintain health and safety
standards within the building. The definition of a wet area is important for determining the appropriate building
regulations and standards that must be followed during design, construction, and maintenance.

Question 3 Give 5 examples of fitments installed in a wet area.

1
Shower Enclosure: This includes the shower screen or door, which is installed to contain water within the
shower area and prevent it from splashing onto other parts of the bathroom.
2 Bath: A bathtub is a common fitment in wet areas where users can bathe. It's typically made of materials that are resistant to water and
moisture.

3
Toilet Suite: This includes the toilet bowl, cistern, and associated plumbing fixtures. Toilets
in wet areas must be designed to handle regular water use and potential splashing.
4
Vanity Unit: A bathroom vanity consists of a sink (basin) and storage cabinets. These are
often installed in wet areas and must be water-resistant and durable.
5
Taps and Faucets: Water taps and faucets for sinks, showers, and baths are essential fitments in wet areas.
They should be designed to control water flow and withstand constant exposure to moisture.
Question 4 What is the maximum distance for stud spacings?

- Horizontal Noggings: Installed between vertical studs at top, bottom, and intermediate positions along the height of the wall to prevent stud rotation and
provide support for wall linings.

- Diagonal Noggings: Optionally installed in a zigzag pattern between studs to resist lateral movement and improve overall rigidity, especially in tall or
long walls.

- Purpose: Strengthen the wall frame, distribute loads evenly, and minimize deflection or deformation of the structure.

- Installation: Noggings are cut to fit between studs and securely fixed with nails or screws according to engineering specifications and building codes.

- Spacing and Size: Spacing between noggings depends on wall height and loading requirements, typically around 1200mm to 1800mm vertically.

- Material and Standards: Use same material as wall studs and follow manufacturer's recommendations and engineering guidelines for proper

Part 2: Waterproofing and sheeting the bathroom

In masonry, rising damp occurs when ground water rises up the walls of a building by capillary action. What
are the symptoms of rising damp and what are the requirements under the Building Code of Australia and
AS3700 Masonry Code, for the prevention of rising damp?
Symptoms of Rising Damp:
- Tide marks or staining on interior walls near the floor.
- Musty odor in affected areas.
- Decay or damage to skirting boards and floor coverings.
- Efflorescence (white salt deposits) on walls.
- Deterioration of plaster or paint.

Prevention Requirements:
- Damp-proof Course (DPC):
- Install a physical barrier (DPC) at the base of masonry walls to stop moisture rising.
- Use materials like bituminous felt, polyethylene sheeting, or damp-proofing membranes.

- Installation of Flashings:
- Use flashings at vulnerable points to redirect water away from the wall.
- Ensure proper integration into the masonry construction.

- Proper Wall Construction:


- Construct masonry walls with good drainage and ventilation to reduce moisture retention.
- Seal mortar joints effectively to prevent water penetration.

- Site Drainage:
- Maintain proper site drainage to divert surface water away from the building.
- Keep gutters, downpipes, and drainage systems clear and functional.

- Compliance with Standards:


- Follow AS3700 Masonry Code guidelines for design, construction, and maintenance of masonry structures.
- Comply with BCA requirements related to moisture management and building durability.

- Regular Maintenance:
- Conduct regular inspections to detect and address moisture issues promptly.
- Repair leaks or drainage problems immediately to prevent water ingress.

Now that the frame has been constructed for the bathtub, sheeting and flashing can be fixed to the walls.
Identify an appropriate sheeting product to install and complete the table below, accordingly.

What sheeting product have you chosen?

Fibre Cement Sheet" (e.g., James Hardie HardieFlex™ or similar)

Provide a brief overview of the product

Composition: Fibre cement sheets are composed of a mixture of cellulose fibre, cement, sand, and water. They are
highly durable and resistant to moisture, making them suitable for wet area applications.

Water Resistance: Fibre cement sheets are inherently resistant to moisture, making them ideal for use in bathrooms
and other wet areas. They do not swell, warp, or degrade when exposed to water.

Installation: Fibre cement sheets are relatively lightweight and easy to install. They can be cut to size using standard
woodworking tools and secured to the framing using appropriate screws or nails.

Durability: Fibre cement sheets are resistant to fire, rot, and termite damage, providing long-lasting performance in
humid environments.

Finish Options: Fibre cement sheets come in various thicknesses and can be painted or tiled over, allowing flexibility in
design and finish.

Which Australian standard specifies the requirements for the physical elements of construction including
floors, walls, junctions and penetrations. The specific areas where these criteria apply include showers,
areas adjacent to baths and spas, general wet areas and areas adjoining other vessels such as sinks,
basins or tubs.
AS 3740-2010 "Waterproofing of wet areas within residential buildings

How must the wall be framed prior to the installation of the sheeting material?

Use suitable materials: The framing should use appropriate timber or metal studs that are
resistant to moisture and suitable for wet area applications.

Provide adequate support: The framing must be structurally sound and capable of supporting
the weight of the wall and any fixtures attached to it, such as shower screens or bath fittings.

Incorporate noggings and bracing: Horizontal and diagonal noggings should be installed between
studs to provide additional strength and stability to the wall structure.

Allow for proper drainage: The framing should be designed to allow for proper drainage and
ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and potential damage.

Accommodate waterproofing measures: The framing should accommodate the installation of


waterproofing membranes or damp-proof courses (DPC) as per the requirements of AS
3740-2010.

What are the floor/wall junction requirements for flashing?

RTO ID: 40268 CRICOS ID: 02915G
The floor/wall junction requirements for flashing in wet areas involve:

1. Installing a waterproofing membrane or flashing.


2. Ensuring material compatibility with the waterproofing system.
3. Proper installation without gaps or overlaps.
4. Integration with wall waterproofing.
5. Designing with a slight slope for drainage.
6. Sealing and bonding of seams and penetrations.
7. Compliance with relevant building codes and standard

Outline the sheeting installation procedure.

1. Preparation: Ensure framing is complete and waterproofing measures are in place.

2. Cutting Sheet Material: Measure and cut sheets to fit wall dimensions.

3. Installation: Position and attach sheets to framing using corrosion-resistant fasteners.

4. Fastening: Use stainless steel screws or galvanized nails, spaced appropriately.

5. Sealing and Joint Treatment: Apply jointing compound or tape to reinforce joints and seal fastener heads.

6. Finishing: Sand, prime, and paint as needed for waterproofing and aesthetics.

7. Inspection and Testing: Check for defects, gaps, and perform water testing to ensure waterproof integrity.
What fasteners must be used?

Screws: Use stainless steel or corrosion-resistant screws designed for use in wet areas.
Nails: Use galvanized or stainless steel nails with annular ring shanks for better holding power.
