What is a Certificate III?

A Certificate III is a recognised qualification under the National Qualification Framework. This certificate course is a higher level than the Certificate II, offering a greater range of information and more dedicated learning. These courses can lead to higher paying jobs and more recognised for the skills and knowledge students can gain. Some Certificate III courses can take longer to complete, but this is often due to the extended study.

Certificate III Courses Online

If you have previous commitments that prevent you from attending a TAFE or University, but really want to get started with your new career, a Certificate III online might be the best option for you. With thousands of courses available across the country by plenty of quality educators, this is one of the most popular course levels to complete entirely online.

The best part? You can study at your own pace, with most online courses having extended course durations so you can fit your study around your work or personal commitments. Online modules can be completed entirely online, so you can gain the skills you need to take on your career in your own time.

There’s plenty of study support available too, including interactive teaching resources and study support, so you never have to feel like your missing out by studying online.
