Certificate III in Arboriculture AHC30820 First Cohort of the New Qualification
Monday 4th August - Wednesday 6th August 2025
We are excited to confirm dates for the delivery of our second Certificate III in Arboriculture cohort for the year, featuring the new qualification AHC30824 - Additional information and details regarding the new qualification, AHC30824, will be provided.
Training will take place from Monday, 4th August to Wednesday, 6th August 2025 at our Forrestdale office, offering multiple training streams tailored to industry requirements:
-
Climbing
-
Elevated Work Platform (EWP)
-
Works Coordinator
-
Dual EWP/Climbing Stream
This qualification has an expected delivery timeframe of 18 to 24 months, with off-the-job training occurring approximately 1 to 3 days every 6 to 8 weeks.
Funding support is available, as this qualification is recognized as an Apprenticeship in Western Australia. By enrolling employees in an Apprenticeship with an AASN provider (such as MEGT), organizations may access government-funded training, significantly reducing the associated costs.
Additionally, as Arborists are listed on Australia’s National Skills Shortage list, employers may qualify for further incentives when enrolling staff in this qualification. We recommend discussing funding possibilities with your AASN provider.
If you wish to enrol yourself or your employees in this qualification, please respond to this email and we will provide the enrolment documentation. Our compliance and management team is actively working to finalise and distribute all necessary documentation for this new qualification.
We look forward to supporting you in advancing your skills and qualifications in the industry
