Stage 6 Construction Curriculum Framework Syllabus now based on CPC08v9.4

The Stage 6 Construction Curriculum Framework Parts A and B Syllabuses are now based on version 9.4 of the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package. CPC08v9.4 was released on training.gov.au on 1 May 2017 and had no impact on Construction Framework courses.

Syllabus changes outlined in official notice NESA 10/17 are now in place for all Construction students (ie both students commencing and continuing study in 2018). As a reminder, a summary of the changes are listed below. Parts A and B Syllabuses on the NESA website have been updated to reflect these changes.
