UEE31225 Certificate III in Instrumentation and Control

Formal recognition for technicians who undertake calibrations, repairs and installations to electrical, electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic instrumentation and control circuitry.
Overview

Turn years of hands-on instrumentation and control work into the UEE31225 Certificate III in Instrumentation and Control, a nationally recognised qualification covering a wide range of calibrations, repairs and installations to electrical, electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic instrumentation, as well as analogue and digital electronic circuitry. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows your experience working in industries such as water treatment, manufacturing or process control 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.

How It Works

Once your Student Agreement is signed and your initial payment is confirmed, your RPL journey begins — here's what to expect at each stage.

1
Collect Your Evidence
Using your personalised checklist, gather evidence that demonstrates your skills and experience. This may include employment records, certificates, photos, videos, or supervisor references. Your Navigator will guide you every step of the way.
2
Receive Your Enrolment & RPL Docs
We'll send your Enrolment Form and LLN Assessment to complete first. Following that, you'll receive your SelfAssessment Form and Third-Party Verification Form to work through carefully before moving to the next step.
3
Submit Your Completed Forms
Complete and sign all required forms, then return them along with your full evidence portfolio. Ensure every section is filled in, all signatures are included, and all supporting documents are attached before submitting.
4
Assessment and Competency Review
Your RTO Assessor will review and map your evidence against the required unit competencies. Where further clarification is needed, a competency conversation will be conducted to confirm your knowledge and skills.
5
Outcome Issued
Once assessed as competent across all required units, the RTO will formally issue your certificate or Statement of Attainment. Your real-world experience is now officially recognised as a nationally accredited qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the Certificate III in Instrumentation and Control through RPL instead of studying full-time?
Yes, RPL lets your instrumentation and control work be formally assessed against the requirements of the UEE31225 qualification. A partner RTO reviews your evidence and conducts the assessment needed to confirm your skills meet the national standard.
How much instrumentation experience do I need for RPL?
There's no fixed amount of experience required — what matters is having enough real evidence to match against the qualification's units. Calibration or test records for instrumentation you've worked on, installation records for control apparatus or cabling, and records showing you've set up or adjusted PID control loops are the kind of documentation that helps.
Is an RPL Certificate III in Instrumentation and Control the same qualification as one from TAFE?
Yes, it's the exact same AQF-registered qualification, issued by an ASQA-registered RTO, no matter which pathway you took. RPL is a different route to the identical credential, based on recognising skills you already hold.
Does this qualification suit someone who wants to work in water treatment or process industries?
It's built around the Instrumentation and Control Technician role, covering calibrations, repairs and installations across electrical, electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic instrumentation, including in water treatment settings. That makes it relevant to a range of industries that rely on instrumentation and control systems, not just one sector.
