This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set out, cut, lay and fix pre-finished, engineered or solid direct stick timber flooring within a space to a hard underlay base or subfloor.

This unit applies to flooring technicians installing timber flooring in accordance with pre-determined work orders.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking flooring work. Industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must also be applied. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
