Alternative pathway 1 for design practitioners—fire systems classes
94 Alternative pathway 1 for design practitioners—fire systems classes
This clause applies to a person who, before the end of 30 June 2022, applies for registration as a design practitioner in 1 of the following classes—
design practitioner—fire systems (detection and alarm systems),
design practitioner—fire systems (fire hydrant and fire hose reel),
design practitioner—fire systems (fire sprinkler).
The person may, instead of meeting the qualifications specified in a qualifications pathway in Schedule 2 for the class of registration, satisfy the Secretary of the following—
the person has enrolled or completed—
a prescribed qualification, or
the units of competency specified in Schedule 2 for the relevant class,
the person has a level of competency that would enable the person to carry out work that is permitted to be carried out by a design practitioner of the relevant class.
A person to whom this clause applies—
must complete the diploma, including the units of competency, no later than 3 years after the date on which the person is granted registration, and
is permitted to hold registration for a period of 1 or 3 years.
It is a condition of registration that a person to whom this clause applies who is granted registration as a design practitioner must—
provide evidence to the Secretary of the completion of the diploma and the units of competency within 7 days after completing the diploma and the units, and
if the person is no longer enrolled in the diploma or a particular unit of competency—notify the Secretary within 7 days after the person ceases to be enrolled.
A person who is registered by the operation of this clause is, during the registration period, prohibited from—
being authorised as an appropriate practitioner to provide documents on behalf of a registered building practitioner under clause 16 or 17, and
applying for registration as a principal design practitioner under the Act.
To avoid doubt, this clause extends to a person to whom Division 3 of this Part applies with any necessary modification.
In this clause—
prescribed qualification means an NVR approved Diploma of Fire Systems Design (CPC50509).
registration period means the period for which registration is granted to a person under this clause, being a period of 1 or 3 years, but does not include a renewal of that registration.
