Trade Skills Assessment And Gap Training Program

Fee for Service (non-subsidised program)

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Applicants must have the skills and knowledge to assume they can achieve competency for most of the units pertaining to their proposed trade qualification through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), and express a commitment to gain the entire qualification.

The following eligibility criteria must be met:

Have a minimum of 6 years’ full-time experience to undertake the trade recognition process for a Certificate III qualification and a minimum of 1 years’ full-time experience to undertake a Certificate II qualification.
Not be undertaking a publicly funded apprenticeship or traineeship.
Not be registered with any other registered training organisation.

VENUE

There are two parts to the Trade Skills Assessment and Gap Training Program:

The applicant’s experience (ie. previous qualifications, and other evidence of industry knowledge and skills) will be assessed remotely.
Identified gaps in knowledge and/or skills will be trained and assessed at an MTA Institute approved automotive workshop. This may be in the applicant’s own workshop, their employer’s workshop and / or MTA Institute’s state-of-the-art automotive workshop – Freeway Office Park, Building 8, 2728 Logan Road, Eight Mile Plains.

COURSE LENGTH

Applicants will work at their own pace to collect evidence of their experience, so the time to complete this part will vary.
Up to six months should be allowed to complete gap training and assessment, noting this timeframe will depend on the number of units that need to be trained (ie. between one and up to 40 per cent of the qualification), and the amount of training required for each unit.

DELIVERY

Applicants will be provided with access to MTA Institute’s Learning Management System (LMS), where they will upload documentation they have collected to support their experience. Once these documents have been validated by a nominated third-party, an assessor will diligently align the applicant’s experience to the relevant qualification requirements. The assessor will then conduct a series of conversations to explore the extent of the applicant’s knowledge. Gaps in the applicant’s knowledge and skills will be identified and training and assessment will commence.
A range of methods will be applied to train and assess the applicant. This includes written and oral questions / answers; and demonstration and observation of practical tasks.

FEE INFORMATION

Course costs will vary, depending on the qualification being undertaken; the amount of gap training that is required and individual circumstances.

$5,000 (maximum) for Certificate III qualifications

$3,000 (maximum) for Certificate II qualifications

Total fees payable by the applicant will be determined once the individual’s application has been approved.
