Certificate III in Automotive Diesel Engine Technology – AUR31520

Home / Automotive – Mechanical & Electrical / Certificate III in Automotive Diesel Engine Technology – AUR31520

Diesel engines don’t fix themselves, and neither does a career built on knowing them inside out. AUR31520 formalises exactly that kind of experience, and it’s a qualification we can help you reach through Recognition of Prior Learning rather than a full return to study — one of our partnered training organisations handles the assessment.

INTRODUCTIOn

Qualification Overview

AUR31520 is built around diesel engines and their associated systems, preparing new entrants while formally recognising workers already doing this mechanical work day to day.

Depending on what you’ve already completed, credit may be granted toward this qualification, and it opens pathways to Certificate IV level diagnostic or overhauling study. For diesel mechanics with years of practical experience but no formal ticket, RPL is well suited — we help gather your evidence, and one of our partnered RTOs assesses it.
