Benefits of using 3CIR
3CIR is a veteran-owned RPL provider dedicated to transforming practical military and emergency services experience into nationally recognised qualifications. From Certificate II to Graduate Diploma across 37+ qualifications, 3CIR offers a 25% discount for all defence and emergency services personnel, with qualifications issued in as little as 7 days.
A seamless, supportive experience tailored to your unique background and goals — from free assessment through to qualification issuance.
As an organisation founded and led by ADF veterans, we possess an intimate understanding of the challenges faced by military and emergency services personnel during career transitions. This expertise informs every aspect of our RPL and training processes, allowing us to accurately map frontline experience — such as leadership in high-pressure environments or risk management in operational settings — to civilian qualifications. Our team of assessors, many with similar backgrounds, ensures assessments are conducted with empathy and precision, resulting in outcomes that truly reflect your capabilities.
We honour the service of current and former defence and emergency services members by offering a 25% discount on all qualifications. Upon verification of your service records, this reduction applies across our full range of RPL services and courses — from $412.50 for Certificate II to $2,737.50 for Graduate Diploma. This inclusion recognises the value of your contributions and facilitates smoother transitions to civilian roles without financial barriers. All pricing is GST-free with no hidden fees.
Begin your journey with a complimentary skills assessment conducted by our experienced advisors. This no-obligation evaluation reviews your resume, service history, training certificates, and workplace evidence to identify the highest level of qualification you may be eligible for through RPL. By pinpointing gaps early and recommending tailored pathways, we maximise your potential outcomes and prevent unnecessary time or effort on mismatched programmes. Start your free assessment now →
Our efficient RPL process is structured for clarity and speed, allowing you to gain qualifications in as little as a few weeks:
We prioritise speed without compromising quality, issuing qualifications within days of final assessment for most RPL candidates. This quick turnaround allows you to apply for promotions, job opportunities, or compliance requirements immediately, giving you a competitive edge in dynamic job markets. Our 85% success rate and 5-star Google rating underscore our reliability in delivering timely results.
Beyond RPL, our services include self-paced online courses, available outside standard business hours to accommodate demanding schedules. Whether pursuing a Diploma in Project Management or a Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety, our programmes integrate practical skills with theoretical knowledge, ensuring you can balance professional development with work and personal commitments.
All certifications from 3CIR are accredited under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Training and assessment are delivered under a third-party arrangement with Asset College RTO #31718. These qualifications meet Australian national standards, making them highly valued by employers across the public and private sectors. With 90% employer endorsement of our outcomes, these qualifications enhance your resume, support salary negotiations, and facilitate compliance with industry regulations. Qualified Australians earn a median $600 per week more than those without qualifications (ABS Characteristics of Employment, Aug 2025).
Our advisors provide bespoke recommendations aligned with your career objectives, whether transitioning from military service to cybersecurity, advancing in government investigations, or upskilling in leadership for business ownership. 3CIR has partnered with Kate Langford Career Consulting (KLCC) to provide even greater support for your career journey. This includes advice on resume enhancement, job application strategies, and leveraging qualifications for promotions or new opportunities.
With your 25% discount applied, qualifications range from $412.50 for Certificate II to $2,737.50 for Graduate Diploma, with RPL often reducing costs by crediting existing skills.
