The Certificate III in Joinery recognises the skills, knowledge and experience within the joinery trade, covering both residential and commercial applications. The core unit of the qualification covers the common skills required by the industry as well as specialist work. The construction industry demands that training and assessment for recognition and skills take place in a real, or very similar workplace environment. All units within this qualification must be delivered in such context.

Demonstrating your current proficiency at a comparable level can be done through a CV (your student support representative can assist with this), an employment letter, or an employment contract.

Additionally, documents from prior work or educational experiences, such as references from licensed tradespeople you’ve collaborated with, apprenticeship records, academic transcripts, or assessments from relevant past qualifications, all contribute to the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process.
