Cert III in Engineering - Fabrication Trade - MEM31922

Qualification Overview:

Qualification Name:
Cert III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade

Qualification Code and Units of Competency:
MEM31922

Processing time:
You can get your desired qualification through RPL pathways within four weeks of getting the sufficient information and evidence of the supporting documents.

Why study Cert III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade ?

The Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade outlines the expertise needed for metal fabrication work, its manufacturing and related areas. A formal trade recognition evaluation process or a training contract are required to complete this qualification. It requires the abilities and knowledge in various fabrication tasks, including metal, structural steel, sheet metal work, blacksmithing, welding and surface finishing. An industry-recognized skills profile for work as an Engineering Tradesperson – Fabrication is intended to be provided by this certification.

At the time of publication, no licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply. However, in some jurisdictions may relate to licensing or regulatory requirements.

We can give you a FREE RPL Quote today !

RPL ADVISOR recognises the need to convert an overseas qualification into an Australian national qualification, and we offer a variety of fast and simple RPL distance training programs through our partner RTOs to meet any relevant requirements for Australia.

RPL ADVISOR can turn your expertise, talents, knowledge, or overseas credentials into a nationally recognised Australian certification through a comprehensive partner network of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). The RPL evaluation process can often be done with established proof of your skills and does not necessitate further review.

Let us get your skills recognised
The Cert III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade gives understanding to the engineering tradesperson on fabrication within metal, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries.
What evidence of documents you need?
We require the following proof of documents to assess your eligibility for the desired qualification through RPL:
Evidence of Learning
  • Photo (latest)
  • Passport 
  • Resume / CV
  • Payslips/work contract/ABN if self-employed
  • Letter of Employment (onshore / offshore)
  • Current employment contracts
  • Evidence of overseas qualifications (if available)
  • Transcripts or assessments from related previous qualifications.
  • Videos or photos at your work (at least 2 from each task)
  • Apprenticeship papers (if available)
  • OHS/WHS policies and procedures
  • Safe work method statements
  • Job safety analysis (if available)
FIVE Steps to get your qualification?
The following are the five steps involved in obtaining a desired qualification through RPL:
  1. Evaluation: One of experienced RPL ADVISOR consultants can conduct a free, no-obligation RPL skills check.
  2. Your Experience: Compiling and submitting your ‘Experience Portfolio’, which includes photographs and videos of you on the job, references, past credentials, and your latest resume, among other things.
  3. RTO Reviews the Evidence: Using an RPL assessment, a certified assessor from one of our collaborating RTOs can review the evidence and decide whether you are competent in the units for that certification.
  4. Interview: If all supporting documents meet the requirement of the desired qualification, then the RTO may take your interview.
  5. Your Certificate: If the RTO determines that you are qualified in all relevant units of competency, the Registered Training Organisation will grant you a certificate.
