Choose your pathway
Traineeship and experienced-worker RPL pathways, with funding eligibility and availability assessed separately.
Recognition of your industry experience
The RPL pathway begins with a review of your work history, existing skills and supporting evidence. An assessor discusses the requirements with you and identifies whether recognition, further evidence or gap training is appropriate.
Course structure
17 core and 5 elective units; 22 units in total. Contact our team for the unit list and elective options for your pathway. Any credit transfer or RPL outcomes are recorded against individual units.
RPL duration
Allow approximately 3–6 months for the RPL and gap-training pathway. The actual timeframe depends on the individual plan, evidence availability, assessment and any gap training required. This estimate does not describe the apprenticeship or traineeship duration.
Entry and suitability
For this experienced-worker pathway, applicants need to be at least 21, have at least three years’ relevant trade experience including 12 months in Australia, and be currently or recently involved in the industry. Other training pathways have different entry requirements. Speak with our team to check which pathway suits you.
Evidence to prepare
Prepare your work history, relevant certificates and statements of attainment, licences where applicable, job sheets or logbooks, and examples of work you personally completed. Identify supervisors who can verify your work. Your assessor will provide a qualification-specific checklist.
How assessment works
Assessment may involve reviewing documents, a competency conversation, third-party verification and practical demonstration or observation as required. Your assessor determines whether the evidence meets the requirements of each unit. Prior experience does not guarantee recognition.
Gap training and support
Where skills or knowledge gaps are identified, a personalised training plan outlines the required learning, assessment and delivery arrangements. Discuss any language, literacy, numeracy, digital or accessibility support needs before enrolment so appropriate arrangements can be considered.
Fees and funding
Ask for a written fee and funding assessment for your selected pathway. Funding availability and individual eligibility must be confirmed before a funded place is offered. A TPPPQ project, where approved, covers its selected units and must not be confused with funding for this entire qualification.
Qualification and licensing
Successful completion of the required units leads to the qualification. Licensing and trade-recognition requirements are separate and must be checked for the occupation and jurisdiction. Completing a qualification does not automatically issue a work or contractor licence.
