What is a Cert 3 Fabrication Apprenticeship?

Certificate III in Engineering and Fabrication is a nationally recognized qualification in Australia that is designed for individuals who want to gain knowledge and skills in the field of metal engineering and fabrication. This certificate is offered through various registered training organisations (RTOs) and covers a broad range of topics related to metal fabrication.

The course typically takes around 2-3 years to complete and involves a combination of on-the-job training and off-the-job training. The on-the-job training involves working in a real-world setting and learning the practical aspects of metal fabrication, while the off-the-job training involves attending classes, workshops, and seminars to learn the theoretical aspects of the job.
