Home / Engineering / Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade – MEM31925
Boilermakers, welders and fabricators with years of genuine trade work behind them are the people MEM31925 exists for. We help build the RPL case, with assessment carried out by one of our partnered training organisations.
This is the trade qualification for an Engineering Tradesperson – Fabrication, covering metal fabrication, structural steel erection, sheetmetal work, welding, blacksmithing and surface finishing, with specialisation pathways including Boilermaking, Welding, Sheetmetal Working, Blacksmithing and Surface Finishing. MEM31925 superseded the earlier MEM31922 code on 3 September 2025, delivering an equivalent trade outcome.
There are no formal entry requirements, and the qualification is typically delivered through an apprenticeship. RPL suits experienced boilermakers, welders and fabricators without the formal trade certificate.
Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade (MEM31925) has no formal entry requirements at the national level — you don't need to be an apprentice or hold a training contract to complete it.
Through RPL, what matters is whether your hands-on experience covers the skills the qualification requires. You're likely to be eligible if you've built genuine experience in fabrication work — welding, sheetmetal work, structural steel erection, blacksmithing or surface finishing — whether that came from paid work, an apprenticeship (complete or incomplete), informal on-the-job training, or work overseas.
Get in touch and your consultant will talk through your background to confirm whether your experience is likely to meet the units of competency, before you commit to anything.
