The Automotive – Mechanical & Electrical industry keeps Australia’s light and heavy vehicles safe and roadworthy, covering everything from engine diagnostics and servicing to auto electrical systems, transmissions, and engine management. Through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and our partnered Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), your hands-on experience in the trade can be assessed and recognised, helping you achieve a nationally recognised qualification without going back to the classroom.
Take the next step in your career – turn your skills into a certification that opens doors to new roles, higher pay, and licensing opportunities.
Our partnered RTOs, which are known for their excellence and commitment to education, offer a diverse range of qualifications in Automotive – Mechanical & Electrical that can be successfully achieved through the process of RPL assessment. Instead of going through the redundancy of repeating training courses you’ve already mastered, RPL assessment recognises the valuable on-the-job learning and experience you have gained over the years and formalises it into a qualification that carries significant weight and recognition across Australia. This not only validates your skills but also enhances your career opportunities in a competitive job market.
AUR20420 covers the foundational electrical work every auto electrician builds on — installing, assembling and servicing vehicle electrical components and systems. If you’ve picked up this experience on the job rather than through a classroom, RPL can help turn it into a nationally recognised qualification.
Safety checks, batteries, brakes, cooling, steering and suspension — AUR20520 is usually the first formal qualification for automotive servicing, and there’s no licensing requirement attached. If you’ve already got the hands-on experience, RPL can help you skip straight to formal recognition.
Diesel engines and their associated systems are the focus of AUR31520 — and if you’re already doing this mechanical work day to day, that experience may count toward formal recognition. We help build your case, assessed by one of our partnered RTOs.
This is genuine tradesperson-level auto electrical work — diagnostics and repair across vehicle electrical systems. If you’ve built that skill without ever sitting the formal certificate, RPL helps you gather the evidence, and a partnered RTO takes it from there. Call 1300 588 967 to find out more.
Overhauling, servicing and repairing engines, transmissions and braking systems on heavy commercial vehicles is specialist work, and AUR31120 is the trade certificate that recognises it. We help you build the evidence, assessed by one of our partnered RTOs. Call 1300 588 967 to get started.
Engines, transmissions, brakes, steering, suspension and diagnostics — AUR30620 is the broad, all-round mechanical qualification for light vehicle work. If you’ve built years of hands-on experience without the paperwork to prove it, RPL is built for exactly that.
