The Certificate II in Workplace Skills (BSB20120) is a nationally recognised credential at AQF Level 2, regulated under the Australian Qualifications Framework. This qualification develops foundational competencies including workplace communication, teamwork, problem solving, digital literacy, time management, and workplace health and safety practices. It is the entry-level qualification in the BSB Business Services Training Package. Military and emergency services personnel — even those with minimal service time — demonstrate these skills daily through operational teamwork, briefings, equipment handling, and compliance with safety procedures. Through RPL, 3CIR formally assesses this experience, with qualifications issued by Asset College (RTO 31718).
Training and assessment are delivered under a third-party arrangement with Asset College RTO #31718.
This qualification covers foundational workplace competencies including effective communication, teamwork and collaboration, time management, basic digital literacy, problem solving, and workplace health and safety. Every military or emergency services member — regardless of rank or duration — practises these skills from day one of service.
