To assist in the making of your choice, here’s a short guide regarding the educational programs we offer and their respective course duration, entry requirements, and any other information included in our services:

We require our applicants to take a general construction course, which is to ensure that you can work safely in the construction industry. There also is a requirement that you complete your LLN assessment, but it’s worth noting that this isn’t a barrier to entry.
On-campus (International)
For those applying on a student visa, you’ll be needing some additional requirements to study for your Cert 3 in Carpentry. You’ll be required to provide a certificate that you have the necessary English skill to take the course, such as a 5.5 band in the IELTS. You can look for specific instructions on our course catalogue.
As international students building and construction as well, you’ll be taking two years of full-time learning, which is equivalent to eight terms, and there are no options for blended learning.
Apprenticeship/Recognised prior learning Australia
For apprenticeships (which is essentially a part-time carpentry course), it can take up to four years of work and learning to qualify for our Certificate III in Carpentry (CPC30220). There are also specialised requirements such as a training contract, white card, and access to tools and equipment.
Achieving an RPL certification can take only two to eight weeks, depending on your existing knowledge and skill set. It’s important to know that you need three to four years of experience and have the proof to back up your application.
Generally, while there may be additional gap training required, the enrolment fees are more affordable as we only need to help you achieve the certification you already have the necessary carpentry skills and training for.
