Yes, it is the same AQF-registered qualification, issued by the ASQA-registered RTO that assesses your evidence. RPL is a different pathway to the identical credential, and ATSR guides you through that pathway while the partner RTO assesses and issues it.
Yes, entry requires an automotive mechanical Certificate III qualification, or the ability to demonstrate equivalent competency. If you do not hold the Certificate III, your work history may be used to show equivalent competency, which the RTO will assess.
