PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
The greatest technical skills need exists regarding:
  • Surface preparation before painting
  • Area preparation
  • Selecting and applying different paints to different surfaces according to specification, using paint techniques to apply undercoats and final coats, and to varnish surfaces
  • Paint preparation
  • Handling the required equipment
  • Knowledge of different paints
  • Knowledge of materials used
  • Knowledge of different surfaces
  • Planning the paint job, by obtaining information about painting requirements

    The purpose of the qualification is that qualifying learners are able to prepare, prime and coat absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces using conventional construction painting skills, without supervision. A construction painter who works without supervision should be able to establish a site, install and use access equipment, select the correct materials, tools and equipment, prepare and prime surfaces, and paint surfaces, employing safe and healthy work practices. In addition, the qualifying learner will demonstrate competence in two areas of specialisation, elected from applying wallpaper, special surfaces, basic business practices, and industrial protective painting. The qualified learner is able to competently fulfil painting contracts safely and in a professional manner, to ensure that industry standards are maintained.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    These standards have been developed in line with international standards for the same level of learning and application. Specific comparisons have been made with the standards employed in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and some standards are based on those used in New Zealand. Included are the New Zealand National Certificates in Painting and Decorating (with strands in Specialised Coatings, Industrial Coatings, and Decorating) - Levels 3 to 5, the Australian National Certificates in Painting and Decorating - Levels 1 to 4, and the British National Vocational Qualification for Painting and Decorating (Construction), Level 3. The credits and outcomes are comparable to the qualification developed here, at NQF level 3.
