RPL, COURSE, apprenticeship or Traineeship?

RPL

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that can be completed in a short time frame. It's based on skills, knowledge and evidence you have already acquired over the years to meet the requirements for the qualification.

Evidence for RPL may include:

  • Proven work experience
  • Life experiences (including voluntary work and leisure pursuits)
  • Previous study (Qualifications, industry training, professional development programs or units)
  • References from qualified persons

RPL can be conducted via online delivery and through workplace training.

If a student fails to demonstrate competency in some units required to gain the qualification, Gap Training is used to gain competency in those units. It can be customised to suit the individual client needs. Up to 4 units of gap training are included in your RPL Fee. Additional fees apply for further gap training units.

3 months enrolment period. After this time your file is placed in an archive and aditional fee of $250 applies to retrieve it. If no response after 12 months, it is deleted from our system. 

Course

A Course is a process that can be completed in a longer time frame than RPL. It’s designed for those who have little or no previous experience in this field of qualification. The course will help train you to achieve the required skills and knowledge needed to gain this qualification.

Course training requires access to a workplace and tools. Please check the student handbook for the list of resources required for each unit of competency. If you require access to a workplace, you will need to inform National Skills prior to enrolment so we can arrange access to a workplace for you.

This Course can be conducted via online delivery and through workplace training.

24 months enrolment period gives you access to the course. Refer to Fees for time extensions.
 
Apprenticeship or Traineeship 
 

Apprenticeships were traditionally seen as a path for younger people to enter a profession and learn on the job. However, today, apprenticeships and traineeships are increasingly attracting older individuals—those seeking to switch careers, upskill, or even re-enter the workforce after a break. This shift challenges the traditional notion that apprenticeships are solely for young people.

Now, the question arises: Should we disregard their previous experience simply because they're older? The answer is no. Previous experience, regardless of age, is valuable and should be considered as part of the learning journey. This is where the "two years" aspect comes into play. For older apprentices, the training can be adjusted to acknowledge their past knowledge and skills. The two years allows enough time to build on what they already know, while providing the necessary formal training and new knowledge that is specific to their chosen field.

If an older or younger apprentice does not meet the required knowledge or skills within  the 2 years access given at the start of the course, they simply choose to extend their learning time, but it will come with additional costs. Refer to Fees tab below. This ensures that individuals can progress at their own pace and depth, depending on their goals and previous experience, without being held back or forced into a rigid timeline.

Ultimately, apprenticeships are no longer about age, but about opportunity and growth, making them an ideal option for people at all stages of their career.

COURSE / QUAL RECOGNITION

CPC30220 Certificate III in Carpentry

This qualification provides a nationally recognised trade outcome in carpentry, covering work in residential and commercial applications.

Licensing Requirements:

To work as a Builder or Contractor in Australia you must have a licence or be registered.

A licence or registration may require a combination of technical qualification, experience, skills and knowledge prior to application. One step in the process of gaining your licence or registration is to complete training which has been approved by the licencing body in your State or Territory.

State and Territory jurisdictions may have different licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements. Relevant State and Territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.

What are the Pathways:

After successful attainment of this qualification, many Carpenters go onto upgrading to other trade licences and enrolling into qualifications such as:

FEES

RPL - $3500

  • $1500 on enrolment and $2000 upon completion
  • Students have 3 months to provide their evidence.
  • 4 Gap Training units are included at no extra charge (if required).
  • Additional Gap Training units are available for $250 each.

Course - $8500

Full upfront payment gives you access to our online training platform and all course material for 24 months. Further time extension can be requested at a cost of $180 per month.

Course Payment Plan - $8700

To make course payments more manageable, we offer a payment plan. This allows you to pay in instalments as you progress through the 12 modules of the course over 24 months. Further time extension can be requested at a cost of $180 per month.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Initial Payment: Start with an upfront payment of $1500 at the time of enrolment to secure your online training module to begin the course.
  2. Subsequent Payments: The remaining balance will be divided into instalments, which are due at the start of each new module thereafter.
  3. Total Balance: The price of the course payment plan is $8700 and will be paid in full by the time you reach the final module.

This structure allows you to pay as you learn and ensures you can continue progressing without requiring full payment upfront.
