Hours of study:
Instruction is delivered using a combination of workplace training and TAFE attendance and through the
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process. Classes are held onsite.
Many TAFE Queensland Gold Coast apprenticeships now offer the option of more on-the-job training and therefore
less time spent attending the TAFE college. Wherever this is the case a TAFE Queensland Gold Coast Trainer is
assigned to attend your workplace to deliver training and assess your skills and knowledge.
TAFE Queensland Gold Coast has structured college based training for various course competencies that are not
practised regularly in the workplace so many employers may still choose to send their apprentice to TAFE to learn
those skills, however, this is done by negotiation between the employer and the TAFE Queensland Gold Coast
Trainer.
To achieve a Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling, 19 units of competency must be completed; 16 core units and
3 elective units.
The approved hours for an individual apprentice will vary according to the units of competency specified in their
individual training plan. Nominal hours per unit of competency can be obtained through the Queensland Mapping
Guide for the training package concerned. The Queensland Mapping Guide can be accessed through the Centre for
Training Materials through the following webpage:

Construction Skills Queensland’s (CSQ) Skills Assessment and Gap Training General Construction
Program (SAGT)
This program is for participants with experience in the building and construction industry who have developed
significant levels of skills and abilities learnt on the job that can be mapped against a formal qualification by way of
an RPL assessment.
TAFE Queensland Gold Coast is contracted to provide both the skills assessment and gap training components of
this CSQ program. To be eligible for funding under this program, participants must be eligible to receive a
significant proportion of the qualification by way of RPL and require between two (2) and a maximum of eight (8)
units of gap training in order to complete the qualification.
What is SAGT?
On-site or on-campus Skill Assessment followed by minimal gap training (this is a requirement).
Gap training can range between a minimum of two to a maximum eight units and can be completed externally or at
TAFE Queensland Gold Coast Ashmore location depending on your preference.
What does SAGT cost?
Costs for this program range between $250 to $400 for individuals pursuing a qualification, however Corporate
Discount does apply to this program and TAFE Queensland Gold Coast can negotiate a reduction in the price if
multiple staff members are enrolled. A base price for multiple enrolments under this corporate offer is
$200.00/enrolment.
Purpose of SAGT?
To assist current construction industry employees, contractors and career seekers to obtain the latest qualification
in their trade. Substantial experience is necessary and it is generally recommended that an eligible candidate have
worked (un-qualified) in the industry for at least 3 years.
In addition to this you may have staff who hold a qualification, however the certificate, and possibly some of the
skills have become out-dated and an upgrade would be beneficial.
