As the job market starts to tighten up with the winding down of the construction projects in the North West, one of the things people are looking for when they are reviewing job applications are qualifications. Although the industry has operated on the basis of experience for many years, the shift is well underway towards more formal, nationally recognised qualifications. Australian Welding Academy is pleased to offer the following qualifications in conjunction with PFI Consulting, our RTO partner:
- Certificate II Engineering MEM20205
- Certificate III Engineering (Fabrication) MEM30305
- Verification of Competency (VOC’s)
The Cert II and Cert III qualifications are offered via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) which allows individuals with more than two years of experience to be recognised with formal qualifications. Please contact us and we can send out the forms that make up the documentation requirements for an RPL. We have even developed our own reference form to assist participants to get detailed references from current or previous employers to support their RPL applications.
Because of the need to train Welding Supervisors / Inspectors and the inflexibility of many training institutions, we have made arrangements with TAFESA which allows our students to study for the AS2214 Welding Supervisor or AS1796 Cert 10 Welding Supervisor qualifications. The training is conducted as an external student, which means you have the learning materials and workbooks home with you and study at your own pace. The course is made up of 5 separate modules, and you are given 6 months from date of enrolment to complete a module, although it is possible to finish a module in significantly less time. Please contact us for more information regarding these qualifications.
