CPC30220 Certificate III in Carpentry
This skills recognition program provides you the participant with the opportunity to attain the CPC30220 Certificate III in Carpentry through a skills recognition process.
A Skills Recognition process is where you provide evidence of your skills and knowledge, such as documentary evidence, video evidence, and testimonials on your ability. We will then review this information, visit your workplace and observe you at work to confirm that these skills and knowledge are present and a true reflection of your current abilities and skill set.
To apply for this process the applicant will:
Contact our office to arrange a cost free/obligation free Candidate Suitability Interview,
in the interview the candidate will:
- Review our course info sheets
- Review our participant handbook
- Review our Enrolment Agreement
- Meet with one of our Skills Assessors to determine if the candidate has the necessary work experience and knowledge, as well as sufficient English skills to complete the Skills Assessment process. This will include a Language Literacy and Numeracy assessment as per our LLN Policy.
- Review with the Skills Assessor a sample RPL Candidate Kit to ensure an understanding of the knowledge and skills required, the method of evidence collection and to discuss any questions that they have.
Applicants wishing to commit with their Skills Recognition process will:
- sign and submit Enrolment Agreement

- Make their initial
- Depart with the RPL Candidate Kit and a schedule for meetings to review the gathered
The participant is then able to commence collecting their information in preparation for submission any potential site visits (these will be advised on at least two weeks in advance).
Depending upon the results of the evidence submission, you may be required to provide more evidence of competency, you may need to arrange for your RPL assessor to visit you at work, and the RPL assessor may need to talk to the people who have provided you with the evidence.
All communication, confirmations and results will be provided in writing, typically by email.
If you do not have the skills or knowledge to meet the needs of the Skills Recognition program you will not be found competent and will not attain the qualification. Melbourne Building Academy does not provide “Gap Training”, you will need to make your own arrangements to acquire any additional skills or knowledge required to complete the program. This additional skills and knowledge may be available in your workplace, it may be available at your local TAFE or through another training provider, we do not provide GAP training.
Should the applicant wish to apply for the course they will need to:
• Provide an identification to show the following:
a) Medicare card / Australian Citizenship certificate / Australian Passport or any other document which shows that they are eligible to under training with MBA as a domestic student.
b) Proof of address
Copies of this identification is to be taken and recorded in the student file. This is especially important for correct spelling of legal names.

Once you commit to the process and there are no refunds.
No specific requirements for language and literacy skills are listed for the Training Package.
However, students must also possess a moderate level of Language, Literacy and Numeracy. To achieve this, MBA has designed LLN test and students are expected to answer all the questions correctly. Students who are not able to complete the test correctly are given one more opportunity failing which will lead to denial of RPL process.
