To get your high complexity certificate of competency, you will need to complete a course at a registered training organisation.
High complexity certificates of competency are:
- Master less than 45 metres near coastal
- Master less than 100 metres near coastal
- Marine engine driver grade 1 near coastal
- Engineer class 3 near coastal
Registered training organisations (RTOs) deliver training and qualifications for issue of a domestic certificate of competency. RTOs are regulated by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) or, in some cases, a state regulator. These regulators ensure that RTOs comply with conditions and standards for registration.
These registered training organisations deliver training for high complexity certificates of competency.
