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.

Payment options
Your fees are confirmed before you commit — no surprises.
After your initial consultation, you'll receive a personalised quote that includes your total fee based on your individual advised pathway, the name of the assessing RTO, and all available payment options. No payment is required until you've reviewed and accepted your quote.
We're committed to your outcome — and we back that with our refund policy.
Our navigators support you through the process to help ensure your portfolio meets the RTO's requirements before it's submitted. If the RTO finds your application ineligible after portfolio submission, you may be entitled to a refund of fees paid to ATSR, in accordance with our and the RTO's refund policy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
