11002NAT

Course Overview

11002NAT — Certificate IV in Fire Systems Compliance is a nationally accredited qualification designed to develop competencies to allow experienced Fire Protection technicians to be able to certify the installation and ongoing maintenance of a variety of fire protection systems dependant on the streams chosen.

This course will provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed to review relevant documentation and reports and identify the fire protection system’s compliance with Australian and international Legislation and Standards, Building Code of Australia requirements and manufacturer’s specifications, and to then provide advice or complete a report, including a yearly condition report, which states the compliance or non-compliance of the fire protection system.

Units of Competency

For a student to be awarded their Certificate IV in Fire Systems Compliance qualification, they must successfully complete the relevant number of units of competency including 5 core and the required elective units.

It is recommended that students are able to demonstrate language, literacy, and numeracy skills equivalent to Level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF).

Recognition of Prior Learning & Credit Transfers

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment-only process that recognises the skills and knowledge you have already gained through previous training, workplace experience or life experience. To be awarded competency through RPL, you must provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that you meet the requirements of the relevant unit(s) of competency.

Our RPL process is designed to recognise existing industry expertise—not to retrain experienced professionals. By focusing on evidence of competency, we provide an efficient pathway for eligible candidates to obtain nationally recognised outcomes while continuing to work in the industry.

If you have previously completed a unit of competency through another Registered Training Organisation (RTO), you may be eligible for a Credit Transfer (CT). To apply, you will need to provide a certified copy of your Statement of Attainment or Qualification during the enrolment process. Where a Credit Transfer is granted, you will not be required to complete that unit again.

If you have any questions about the RPL process, your eligibility, or the evidence required to support your application, submit an Enquiry form on here or give us a call on 1300 119 141.
