FAQ

Your Questions, Answered!

Can I get my trade license through this process?
Yes. Once you receive your Certificate III (e.g., AUR30620) via our compliant RPL pathway, you can use that qualification to apply for your relevant State Trade License (e.g., Fair Trading NSW or VBA).
I've worked on the tools for 15 years but never did an apprenticeship. Can I still get qualified?
Absolutely. If you have the skills, you have the knowledge. Let us help you fine the right RTO to map those 15 years of experience against the current training package to see where you stand. Experience is often the best teacher.
What happens if I'm missing a specific skill, like Hybrid/Electric Vehicle safety?
We don't leave you stranded. If our Skills Audit finds a gap, we'll point you toward specific gap training for that unit. You RPL the 90% you know and only study the 10% you don't.
Is my experience in Heavy Diesel relevant for a Light Vehicle cert?
While there is crossover, we always aim for the qualification that matches your strongest evidence. Our Navigators will help you choose the path that offers the fastest and most compliant outcome.
