Home / Automotive – Mechanical & Electrical / Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology – AUR30620
AUR30620 is the standard trade qualification for a qualified motor mechanic working on light vehicles. Years on the tools count for something here — our RPL process turns that experience into formal evidence, assessed and certified through one of our partnered training organisations.
This is the broad, all-round mechanical qualification — engines, transmissions, brakes, steering, suspension and diagnostics across the full range of light vehicle work.
Most people complete it through an apprenticeship, but for mechanics who’ve built years of hands-on experience without ever sitting the formal trade certificate, RPL offers a structured route to recognition.
This qualification of a certificate iii in light vehicle mechanical technology provides the knowledge and skills required by an individual who wishes to work in the light vehicle automotive repair and service industry. Despite the specialised-sounding title, this is a general and highly practical degree for any persons looking to get involved in the automotive mechanics industry. You will be qualified to tackle such universally important tasks such as engine and transmission repairs, maintenance on steering and other vital vehicle systems, especially on consumer automobiles. Qualified workers in this trade often find themselves with opportunities to advance into a specialist position through their work, or in establishing their own mechanics’ business. Less typical paths of advancement exist in the design and development of today’s vehicle diagnostic software and tools or mechanics aids.
You will need to provide a range of evidence to assist your assessor to make a decision about your competence. The types of evidence you may be asked to provide can include:
Intech Institute of Technology Pty Ltd (RTO: 30100)
Percentage of graduates of this course who were satisfied with the training.
Percentage of graduates of this course who started/expanded a business or who have a new job, more highly skilled work, a promotion or higher pay.
The middle of the range of salaries earned by graduates of this course starting their first ever full-time job after graduating.
There are no mandated entry requirements, though most people complete this qualification through an apprenticeship.
The full range of mechanical work on light vehicles — engines, transmissions, brakes, steering, suspension and diagnostics.
Apprentices working toward trade qualification, and experienced mechanics seeking formal recognition of their skills.
Qualified motor mechanic roles, with further pathways into Certificate IV diagnostic or management qualifications.
Yes, if you can demonstrate trade-level competency through your work history.
Job cards, diagnostic and repair records, employer statements, and any relevant prior training or licences.
There’s a real assessor involved — they may ask you to demonstrate skills practically, not just review documents, before confirming you meet every requirement.
