Yes, it is the same AQF-registered Certificate III, issued by the ASQA-registered RTO that assesses your evidence. RPL is a different pathway to the identical qualification, not a lesser version.
It supports trade roles such as Panelbeater, Vehicle Body Restoration Technician and Heavy Vehicle Body and Chassis Repair Technician. It can also lead into further study, such as the Certificate IV in Automotive Body Repair Technology.
