• CPC30220 – Certificate III in Carpentry

This course is designed in 2 parts made up of in house training at our various onsite simulated workplace training sites and employment with a carpentry company.

• • Part 1 – 3 days a week for 12 months at our simulated workplace centres
  • Part 2 – Work for 800 hours or more for a carpentry/building company as a carpenter on actual jobsites.

Training is from 7.00am to 3.00pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Students will be required to attend school 3 days a week. It will be Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays.

TIV has an employment agency on board to assist with work placement. However, we strongly advise you source your own employer.

This course provides the same qualification CPC30220 – Certificate III in Carpentry as an apprenticeship, just delivered differently. An apprenticeship involves you being employed and working as a carpenter as well as being registered with the apprenticeship board.

The course is intensive whereby training is delivered in a combination of theory, practical and class based. The training involves all aspects of carpentry in order to obtain the qualification. Doing an apprenticeship, you may get exposure and training to most of the required carpentry subjects but not all of it on the job and hence why it can take longer.

You can certainly still do the TIV course and you may get credit transfers depending on the apprenticeship modules you have completed. Ensure that you have your statement of attainment or USI transcript available.

Yes.
This qualification is the exact same trade qualification you would receive if completing an apprenticeship. This course is just a different delivery method.

The pathway beyond the CPC30220 – Certificate III in Carpentry can lead to the following qualifications:

CPC40120 – Certificate IV in Building and Construction

CPC50220 – Diploma of Building and Construction (Building)

Yes certainly, TIV runs information nights on certain dates.

In addition, you can also book an appointment with us if you can’t make it to the information nights to find out more information.
