Recognised Prior Learning (RPL)

MultiSkills Training has reviewed the structure and delivery of this unit and determined that Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is not offered for this course.

Due to the short duration of the program, the time and effort required for a student to gather sufficient evidence and complete a formal RPL application is likely to exceed the time it would take to complete the training and assessment. In addition, the RTO resources required to assess and validate RPL applications for this course make the process not viable or efficient in this context.

This decision aligns with the guidance outlined in the Outcome Standards Policy Guidance (Standards for RTOs 2025), which recognises that RPL may not be appropriate or practical in all circumstances.

MultiSkills Training is committed to transparency and fairness. Information regarding RPL is also available in our Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning Policy, which is available on our resources page. In addition, our administrative team is available to discuss this with you upon request.

Completed my Certificate III in Civil Construction and finished all my machine tickets here — could not have asked for a better experience. Josh was my trainer and honestly one of the best out there: knows the material inside out, explains things clearly, and keeps the sessions genuinely fun without losing focus on getting you job-ready. If you get trained by Josh, you're in good hands. Highly recommend Multiskills to anyone looking

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh was an Excellent civil construction trainer! Very knowledgeable, professional, patient, and easy to learn from. He explains everything clearly and makes sure everyone understands both the practical work and the safety requirements before moving on. What I appreciated most was the hands-on approach and the real industry knowledge he brought to the training. He took the time to answer questions, correct mistakes properly, and build everyone’s confidence without making anyone feel uncomfortable for asking. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students becoming competent and safe workers, not just getting them through the course. I walked away with a much better understanding of civil construction and a lot more confidence in my skills. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to get into civil construction or improve their existing skills. One of the best trainers I’ve had.

I just finished my third ticket with Graham and am very happy—he's a great trainer and has a wide array of knowledge/experience in the construction and mining industries. He took the time to get to know us and communicated clearly what's expected in order to be competent and pass the assessments, while being helpful and understanding throughout the process.

Hey all curious and keen up and comers, This is Brendo-step right up and face your fears, trust me !!! MULTISKILLS WERRIBEE = GREAT VIBES AND PROFESSIONALISM - as soon as i entered the gates of Multiskills heaven any anxietys or self doubts were quickly distinguished by the friendly pleasant admin staff and perfectionist instructors- especially SEAN "THE GUN" LOMAS - the master perfectionist!!! I was lucky enough to have Sean as my first instructor at Multiskills in the Cert 3 Plant Operations - his eye for detail was refreshing and ON POINT critique was emphatic - he really did pack a punch ripping through all of my class like lightning! I say this because from sucking up my pride and mistakes during the course and listening to and watching Sean closely and implementing his superior knowledge and demonstrations into my practicals i constantly improved and my confidence soared - i would definately be confident entering the civil construction work field  with the valuable plant machine tickets i have aquired and the skills i have achieved thanks to Multiskills!!  A special mention must go to JOSH....Seans wingman , what a team!!! Josh was another instructor teaching another equivalent class who cared enough to take his time to chip in and help us achieve excellence to the best of our ability - we were getting tag teamed by years of experience - my definition of BLISS!! I will most definately be spending more time at Multiskills over the next 2 years riding the clouds of Multiskills heaven learning all that is offered by Sean, Josh and the extended team, thanks everyone, BANG ON!!!!

Massive thanks to Macca who ran our 2 day forklift license course. Very thorough and very personable aswell. A couple of different stages of experience amongst our group and he did well accomadating everyone. It was good having an instructor who was there to pass on and share his vast knowledge without trying to blow his own trumpet. Will be back 100% for any other licenses i need in the future.
