If you’ve been working in metal fabrication, welding, sheet metal, or structural steel but don’t yet hold a formal qualification, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can help you fast-track your cert iii in engineering fabrication trade.

The process is straightforward:

You provide evidence of your work, or past apprenticeship papers.
An assessor from one of our partner RTOs reviews your portfolio and maps your experience to the units of competency.
If any gaps are found, targeted training can be arranged so you only study what you need—no time wasted repeating skills you’ve already mastered.
You’ll gain a nationally recognised trade certificate without stepping out of the workforce.

This recognition can open doors to higher pay, more stable employment, and even licensing pathways in areas like structural fabrication or advanced welding. It’s the smart way to have your expertise formally acknowledged and move forward in your career.
