PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
Learners who are assessed competent against this unit standard are able to install cladding, that is, to install insulation, underlay, ridging, roof sheeting, covering and cladding on a timber roof structure, in line with safety legislation, and National Building Regulations and requirements, and based on specification drawings. Since the role of safety is crucial, learners mostly apply competence under supervision of a team leader. Understanding the implications of design modifications and industry convention to deal with practical challenges are important factors when attaining the outcomes of this unit standard. |

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD: |
This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here. |
