Take a quick eligibility test
Overview

Turn years of hands-on electronics and communications work into the UEE30920 Certificate III in Electronics and Communications, a nationally recognised qualification covering the selection, installation, set up, testing, fault finding, repair and maintenance of electronic equipment and devices at the component or sub-assembly level. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows your experience working on broadcast, microwave, satellite, computer or communications equipment to be formally assessed against this qualification rather than starting your learning over. Once your evidence is assessed and confirmed by our partner RTO, you hold the same AQF-recognised Certificate III as anyone who completed the qualification through classroom-based study.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the Certificate III in Electronics and Communications through RPL without retraining from scratch?
Yes, RPL lets your experience working on electronic and communications equipment be formally assessed against the UEE30920 qualification's requirements. A partner RTO reviews your evidence and carries out the assessment needed to confirm you meet the national standard.
What kind of evidence counts for RPL in electronics and communications work?
It comes down to real records of the work you've done, not a set number of years. Fault-finding or repair records for electronic equipment, installation or set-up records for communications, security or data equipment, and records showing you've troubleshot amplifiers or similar gear all help build a clear picture of your skills.
Is an RPL Certificate III in Electronics and Communications the same as one from full-time training?
Yes, it's the exact same AQF-registered qualification, issued by an ASQA-registered RTO, regardless of the pathway used to get it. RPL recognises skills you've already built, rather than being a lesser version of the credential.
What kind of work can I do with this qualification?
It's built around the Electronics and Communications Tradesperson role, covering installing, setting up, testing, diagnosing, repairing and maintaining electronic equipment down to component level, including broadcast, microwave and satellite technologies. That makes it relevant across a wide range of electronics and communications work, not just one narrow area.
