Qualification description

This qualification reflects the role of individuals involved in manufacturing, processing, moving or installing various types of glass products. Job roles may be in glass processing, glazing or designed glazing in both residential and commercial operations.

Workers use a range of technical knowledge to perform skilled work involving known routines, methods and procedures. They use discretion and judgement to adapt and transfer their skills and knowledge to different job needs and take responsibility for their own work within organisational parameters.

In some states and territories there may be licensing requirements that link to this qualification, and other licensing requirements where the individual is required to work on-site. Depending on the jurisdiction, licensing or regulatory requirements may also apply to the use of some units in this qualification. Licensing of glazing work applies in Queensland, NSW and South Australia. Local regulations should be checked for details.

^ From 1 July 2022 the core unit HLTAID003 must no longer be delivered and will be replaced in the Packaging Rules by the unit HLTAID011 – for more information see: https://asqa.gov.au/news-events/news/reminder-about-superseded-hlt-first-aid-units
