(latest NCVER data)Training in firebox, smoke shelf and flue construction, delivered through CPCCBL3012 Construct fireplaces and chimneys, helps bricklayers build fireplaces that draw properly and keep water out at the roof line. RTOs can add it to bricklaying programs where renovation or custom residential work is common, using CPCCBL3012 RTO training materials as a ready delivery base.
Learners develop skills in setting out bases and hearths, constructing fireboxes and corbelled gathers, forming smoke shelves and throats, parging smoke chambers and flues, installing lead chimney trays and finishing chimney stacks with capping or flaunching.

Inside the CPCCBL3012 training materials, your team will find learner content, trainer support and assessment documents for constructing fireplaces and chimneys. Purchase RTO materials to save development time, with CPCCBL3012 RTO training resources ready to contextualise for your workshop.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these CPCCBL3012 training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your CPCCBL3012 materials against the Standards for RTOs.
CPCCBL3012 Construct fireplaces and chimneys is designed for bricklayers and blocklayers who construct brick fireplaces and chimneys in different types and styles of buildings. It covers the work from setting out the base through to completing the chimney stack and hearth.
The unit addresses five core areas:
Learners construct a fireplace and chimney for a single storey building, including chimney flashing and weatherproof capping, in line with fireplace and chimney standards and codes. RTOs need a workshop or site that can accommodate a build of this size.
The Learner Guide and class activities break the gather, smoke shelf and throat stages into clear steps so learners understand why sizes and shapes matter before they build. Trainers can add diagrams of local fireplace designs.
They are developed as compliant learning resources with training package requirements in mind, but that does not guarantee an audit result. Your team should still validate the tools against its own practical arrangements.
Yes. The Trainer Assessment Pack/Marking Guide and Supporting Documents give assessors a structure for observing and recording evidence across the base, firebox, flue and stack stages.
No. The unlimited student licence covers as many enrolled learners as your organisation needs, subject to the applicable licence conditions.
