Public Certificate III

What do I require before I begin a Certificate III course?

No formal prerequisite units are required for enrollment in any of our Certificate III courses. If you are looking to undertake online study at 3CIR, depending if you have ever studied in the past, you may have to undertake a language literacy and numeracy quiz to begin a course. This is to ensure that you have the capacity to undertake Cert III study. We want to make sure that you have the best possible outcome for your qualification. Therefore, a basic command of the English language is required. This test takes approximately 30 minutes and can be completed in multiple sessions, so no need to stress!

If you have already completed previous study, you can skip this test by providing evidence of completion whether that is a certificate II or another qualification. This will allow knowing you are capable of completing study and you can begin enrolment in the course.

Certificate III Quicker with Recognition of Prior Learning

If you already have experience both professional or voluntary in the industry that you’re looking to receive a qualification in, you may already be eligible through a process called Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). RPL looks at your current knowledge and skills, mapping this to the learning outcomes of all of our qualifications. If they align, you can receive a qualification in weeks, not years, and for much cheaper. A certificate III is much easier to obtain than many of our other certificate levels, so a little time in the job may allow you to obtain one. It all depends on what type of evidence you can provide and if that meets the requirements of a certificate III level qualification. There are many different methods to providing evidence, including your current resume, current or former position descriptions, performance appraisals, licenses etc. If you want to know more information regarding what evidence you may need, reach out and contact us today. Otherwise, you can take a FREE RPL Assessment today and see what you’re already eligible for.
