Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cert 3 in Australia?

A Certificate III is a nationally recognised qualification designed to help individuals gain a broad range of skills and knowledge to undertake skilled work. It also paves the way for further learning to advance to a Certificate IV or diploma.

What is the difference between cert 3 and a diploma?

A diploma provides more in-depth qualifications than a Certificate III since it prepares you for supervisory and specialist roles that require a deeper understanding of specific roles. However, a Certificate III is a great starting point for more straightforward job roles and further learning.

Is it better to have a diploma or certificate?

Certificates and diplomas both unlock plenty of employment opportunities. However, earning a certificate is better if you are looking to upskill in your current industry to qualify for higher-paying positions. Meanwhile, you should get a diploma if you want to enter a new sector or start a new profession.
