At Next Era Training, we specialise exclusively in Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for Certificate III trade qualifications—and that’s what sets us apart.

We’re not a generalist RTO. We don’t offer dozens of unrelated courses. Instead, we focus on what we know best: recognising the skills of experienced tradies and helping them turn those skills into nationally recognised qualifications—quickly, affordably, and without unnecessary study.

Our team consists of licensed builders, industry veterans, and qualified trainers and assessors who understand both the practical realities of the job site and the technicalities of licensing requirements across Australia. Unlike other RTOs, we don’t charge for licensing support—we provide it free to every student who completes a qualification with us. Because getting your ticket shouldn’t be about guesswork or hidden costs.

We make RPL easy.

Our streamlined process is built for busy tradies. We provide simple, clear templates that make collecting evidence fast and hassle-free. Whether it’s work history, photos, referee statements, or job documents, we guide you every step of the way—no confusing paperwork, no endless admin.

We offer:

• • 100% RPL Pathways – no classroom time, no irrelevant theory.
• • Trade-Focused Expertise – we only assess what we know and practice.
• • Personalised Support – real guidance from assessors who’ve worked in your industry.
• • Fast Turnaround – submit evidence, get assessed, and move forward with confidence.
• • Easy Evidence Collection – we give you the tools and templates to make it simple.

Whether you’re a carpenter, concreter, painter, or tiler—if you’ve got the experience, we’ll help you get qualified.

Next Era Training is where tradies become certified—without the classroom.
