Our approach
AATT delivers nationally recognised qualifications differently from traditional classroom-based RTOs. We don't operate a fixed practical training workshop. Instead, we work with you in your real workplace — recognising the skills you already have and integrating your formal learning with the work you're already doing.
Two pathways
Pathway 1 — Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) with Workplace-Based Gap Training
Who it's for: Industry-experienced workers (2+ years) seeking formal recognition of skills already developed.
How it works:
- You complete a Pre-Training Review with an AATT advisor (free, no obligation)
- AATT issues an RPL Candidate Kit and Evidence List
- You collect evidence: photos, videos, work samples, references, qualifications, supervisor reports
- AATT assessors review the evidence against unit requirements
- Structured Competency Conversation with your assessor (video or in-person)
- Gap analysis identifies any gaps — Gap Training is delivered through the AATT Learning Portal and targeted workplace activities
- Final competency decision per unit; nationally recognised qualification issued
Typical duration: 2–6 months. RPL fee: AUD $1,500.
Pathway 2 — Workplace-Based Delivery
Who it's for: Learners currently employed by a building/construction contractor who want to build their qualification through real work.
How it works:
- Free Pre-Training Review with an AATT advisor
- Workplace Training Agreement signed between you, your employer, your workplace supervisor, and AATT
- Online theory delivered via the AATT Learning Portal
- Practical learning integrated into your real work tasks
- Monthly AATT assessor site visits for observation and competency assessment
- Workplace supervisor provides on-job mentorship and third-party verifications
- Qualification issued when all units are complete
Typical duration: 9–24 months. Course fee: AUD $2,000.
How we assess
AATT assessment uses multiple methods to verify your competence, applying the Principles of Assessment (fair, flexible, valid, reliable) and Rules of Evidence (valid, sufficient, authentic, current):
- Workplace observation by AATT assessors
- Photographs and video of your work, authenticated with date and identity verification
- Third-party reports from your workplace supervisor
- Work samples — drawings, project documents, completion records
- Online knowledge assessments via the AATT Learning Portal
- Structured competency conversations
Our sites
AATT operates from two administrative sites: Sydney Burwood and Melbourne Collins Street. Both sites are used for learner interviews, Competency Conversations, and administration. Practical learning and assessment occur at your workplace — not at our sites.
