CPC32811 Certificate III in Fire Protection

Supersededtraining.gov.au: supersededNonEquivalent

The currency period for CPC32811 ended on 5 February 2013 — 13 years ago. It names one replacement below, with the equivalence it declares for each.

Transition clockClosed to new enrolments

New enrolments are not permitted from 7 February 2014 — one year from the date the replacement was included on the National Register (s 14(1)(a)(i) of the National VET Regulator (Compliance Standards for NVR RTOs and Fit and Proper Person Requirements) Instrument 2025 (F2025L00355, in force 1 July 2025)), or from a later date if ASQA has approved otherwise for your organisation.

Learners already enrolled have no fixed deadline: they complete the product and are issued their AQF certification, or transfer to the replacement, in a timely manner (ASQA guidance, read live 25 August 2026).

The same date closes a second obligation: under s 7(2)(c) of the same instrument, advertising may refer to a superseded product only while it is on scope and new enrolments are permitted. When enrolments stop, the course page advertising it stops being permitted too — and if ASQA approves a later enrolment date, that moves with it.

Where the register points next

Each step below is one supersession training.gov.au publishes between two products. The label on the rail is the equivalence the register declares for that step — not our reading of it.

What the register says changed

These are the mapping notes training.gov.au attaches to each supersession, quoted as the register writes them. They are the only public record of what actually changed between two versions.

  • CPC32808CPC32811not equivalent20 May 2011

    The register records this supersession but attaches no note on what changed.

  • CPC32811CPC32812not equivalent6 February 2013

    Revised qualification deemed not equivalent to CPC32811 Change to core units: • CPCPCM2011A replaced with imported unit HLTFA211A • CPCPCM2023A revised and not equivalent to CPCPCM2043A Change to elective units: • CPPCMN2002A Participate in workplace safety arrangements and CPPFES2006A Prepare for installation and servicing operations added to elective unit list to correct their omission from the packaging rules, given their status as prerequisite to CPCPFS3040A, CPCPFS3041A, CPCPFS3042A and CPCPFS3043A Core and elective units revised resulting in a number of unit identifier changes

Is CPC32811 on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether CPC32811 sits on your own scope today, or what else on that scope has moved without anyone noticing. Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.

Public code, nothing else. We read your live scope from training.gov.au and answer here — nothing is stored unless you ask us to watch it.

Whether a supersession requires anything of you, and what, sits with you and your regulator. This page maps what the register records; it does not make that judgement. If the difference between an equivalent and a non-equivalent replacement is the question, we wrote it up in equivalent vs not equivalent.

What CPC32811 is made of

training.gov.au lists 48 units for CPC32811. It does not mark them core or elective: the unit grid records N/A for every one of them. The register does not publish a completion rule in units for this product, so we do not state one. What it takes to complete the product is in the packaging rules on training.gov.au.

The register publishes this unit grid without a core or elective flag, so this page does not split it into core and elective. "Not current" means training.gov.au no longer recommends that unit for use inside this product — it does not say anything about the product itself.

Source: this product on training.gov.au, Australia's national training register — or go straight to the units it requires. The rule itself is item 14 of F2025L00355, and ASQA publishes the extensions it has granted. Read on 28 August 2026 UTC. Every code, title, date, status and equivalence flag on this page is the register's; nothing here is estimated or inferred, and where the register publishes nothing we say so.
