FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Course & Qualification Questions

Quick answers on AQF qualification levels, pricing with the 25% military and emergency services discount, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) timelines, and how to get started.

What qualification levels are available?

3CIR offers six AQF qualification levels: Certificate II, Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma, Advanced Diploma, and Graduate Diploma. Each level builds on the previous — from foundational workplace skills at Certificate II through to strategic leadership and executive-level management at Graduate Diploma (AQF Level 8). All qualifications are listed on training.gov.au under the Australian Qualifications Framework.

How much do qualifications cost with the 25% discount?

With the 25% military and emergency services discount applied: Certificate II from $371.25, Certificate III from $637.50, Certificate IV from $862.50, Diploma from $1,125, Advanced Diploma from $1,612.50, and Graduate Diploma from $2,737.50. The 11346NAT Diploma of Operational Safety is $1,387.50. All prices are GST-free. Payment plans available via Afterpay, Klarna, Zip, GoCardless, and DebitSuccess.

What is the difference between RPL and online study?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assesses your existing skills and service experience against qualification requirements — no classroom study needed. Online study is traditional learning completed through a self-paced digital platform. Most 3CIR qualifications offer both pathways, and many candidates combine RPL with targeted online top-up units for the fastest route to completion.

Which qualification category is right for me?

It depends on your service background and career goals. Personnel with command and team leadership experience suit Leadership & Management. Security, intelligence, or investigations roles suit Security & Risk or Government. Use-of-force trainers, threat managers, and operational safety leads suit the new Operational Safety category. Our free assessment matches your background to every qualification you are eligible for.

How long does RPL take?

Most candidates complete RPL within two to six weeks. With well-organised evidence, some have qualified in as little as seven days. The timeline depends on qualification level, evidence quality, and whether any gap-training units are required. 3CIR is a veteran-owned RPL specialist focused on military and emergency services personnel — your assessor is typically a fellow veteran who understands your service evidence.

Are these qualifications nationally recognised?

Yes. All qualifications are issued through Asset College RTO #31718 and listed on the Australian Qualifications Framework. They carry the same AQF accreditation as qualifications from TAFE or other registered training organisations, and are recognised by employers across government, corporate, mining, defence contracting, healthcare, and security sectors. ASQA-regulated; verifiable on training.gov.au.

Can I get multiple qualifications?

Yes — many candidates qualify for multiple qualifications across different categories based on their service experience. A senior NCO might qualify for a Diploma of Leadership and Management, Certificate IV in WHS, Certificate IV in Project Management Practice, and the 11346NAT Diploma of Operational Safety. Your free assessment identifies every qualification you are eligible for.

What is the 11346NAT Diploma of Operational Safety?

The 11346NAT Diploma of Operational Safety is a nationally accredited AQF Level 5 qualification (accredited May 2025) for veterans, police, corrections, and security personnel with operational experience. Three streams are available: General, Use of Force Instructor, and Critical Threat Management. Available via RPL only at $1,387.50 with the 25% military and emergency services discount applied.
