Explore AUR30620 Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology. Discuss recognition of your automotive experience, gap training and whether a suitable TPEW pathway is available.
Practical experience matters. TPEW combines assessment of existing skills with targeted training for any gaps, helping eligible workers meet the requirements of a trade qualification. It is an assessment and training pathway: a qualification is awarded only when all requirements are met.
Current program availability
The previous application round is closed. The NSW Government has announced an expanded program supported by Advanced Entry Trade Training, with additional places through June 2029. Participating providers, supported qualifications and opening dates are still to be confirmed.
Ask Apeiro about your circumstances and register an enquiry. This is not an application for a funded place. Apeiro’s participation, qualification availability and any subsidy must be confirmed before enrolment.
Experienced NSW trade workers without a formal qualification, and employers who want to discuss recognition of their team’s existing skills. The published program criteria include age, relevant work experience, residency and training-history conditions. Requirements for the expanded round will need to be confirmed when released.
Tell us your trade, employment history, time working in Australia and any previous training. For AUR30620, describe your light vehicle servicing, repair and mechanical work. Suitability is assessed individually.
From experience to a training plan
Discuss your experience. Explain the work you do and the qualification you are considering.
Check the pathway. Confirm program availability, eligibility, provider approval and the appropriate qualification.
Gather evidence. Prepare your work history, employer references, previous training and examples of your work. An assessor will explain what is required.
Assess skills and address gaps. Where a suitable pathway is available, assessment identifies recognised skills and any further training needed.
AUR30620: Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology
Explore AUR30620 Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology and discuss whether your work experience could support an RPL assessment.

Your questions. Clear answers.
Is TPEW currently open?
The previous round is closed. The NSW Government is preparing the expanded program. Contact Apeiro to discuss your experience; intake dates and participation must be confirmed.
Is the training free?
Eligible participants in approved funded arrangements may receive subsidised RPL assessment and gap training. An enquiry does not establish eligibility or a funded place. Apeiro will confirm any available arrangement and fees before enrolment.
Does experience guarantee a qualification?
No. Your evidence must demonstrate the required competencies, and any identified training gaps must be addressed.
Will this give me a trade licence?
A qualification and a trade licence are separate. Licensing may involve additional requirements and fees; check with the relevant licensing authority.
Can employers enquire for their team?
Yes. Tell Apeiro about the roles, work experience and development needs of your team. Individual suitability, assessment and program eligibility still apply.
Let’s talk about your automotive experience.
Tell us what you do and what you would like to achieve. Apeiro can discuss potential assessment and training options and confirm what is available.
