WesTrac Institute Guildford in WA offers Nationally Recognised full qualifications through Jobs and Skills WA.

Effective from 1st January 2020, the WA State Government has halved course fees for 34 targeted vocational qualifications including the two qualifications listed below. This initiative means that:

1. We refer to the Department of Training and Workforce Development’s ‘Lower Fees, Local Skills’ initiative, this is a targeted qualification with half-price rate for course fees. Additionally, the course fees will be capped to an annual total (per calendar year) of either $1,200 or $400 (Non-concession or concession) PLUS resource fee. Please note that the Course Fee Rates only apply to units commencing between 1st January 2020 and 31st December 2025.
2. The Student tuition fees are indicative only and are subject to change given individual circumstances at enrolment. Additional fees may apply such as resource fees and other fees.
3. Any units of competency commenced outside of this period will attract the regular course fees.

Resources fees from 2026 rates are:

• AUR30320 – Certificate III in Automotive Electrical Technology – Course fee $1,621.62 (non-concession) $485.25 (Concession); Resource fee $3689.90

At WesTrac Institute, we recognise that strong skills in English language, literacy, numeracy, and digital technology (LLND) are essential for success in training and the workplace. We also understand that many students may need support in these areas to fully engage in learning and communication.

To help ensure every student is set up for success, all applicants will complete a short LLND quiz before enrolling in their chosen course. This helps us confirm the course is the right fit for your current skill level.

If you have specific LLND support needs, we encourage you to contact WesTrac Institute. We are committed to providing tailored learning and assessment opportunities to help you thrive throughout your training journey.

WesTrac Institute acknowledges Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). If you have previously completed Units of Competency, you may be eligible for a direct credit transfer.

To apply, simply provide a certified copy of your Statement of Attainment during enrolment. This helps us recognise your prior learning and ensure you are not repeating content unnecessarily.

If you are unsure about your eligibility or need help with the process, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that acknowledges the skills and knowledge you have gained through previous study, work experience, or life experience. It allows you to have your existing competencies recognised without needing to complete the full training and assessment pathway.

To be considered for RPL, you will need to provide evidence that meets the following criteria:

• Authentic – your own work and experience
• Sufficient – demonstrates consistent competence over time
• Current – reflects up-to-date skills and knowledge
• Valid – directly relevant to the unit or qualification being assessed

If you are interested in applying for RPL, please contact our WesTrac Institute team to request an RPL Kit.
