Trade Pathways Program

Make your years of industry experience matter!

Become a fully qualified carpenter now!

Becoming a qualified chippy is now easier than you may think.

With the help of “recognition of prior learning” and “fee-free gap training”, Novaskill and the NSW Government invite eligible laborers to participate in The Trade Pathways Program.

How it works:

Check your eligibility below
Our team will contact you with more information
You submit evidence of “prior learning” (we’ll explain what this entails)
We assess which part of the qualification we deem you to already be competent in and tick them off
We let you know which parts still need formal training conducted, and get you started (with the help of our trainer)
Once all parts (formally known as Units of Competency) are successfully completed, you will receive your CPC30211 Certificate III in Carpentry and be fully qualified!
