About This Qualification
This qualification reflects the role of individuals who design kitchens and bathrooms that typically feature built-in cabinetry and furniture. They may work in larger organisations or as independent designers. Designers work directly with the client and/or with professionals, such as architects, builders, retailers, interior designers and suppliers. They possess a broad range of specialised and technical knowledge and skills, and they research and compare information from diverse sources to develop design solutions. They also use well-developed communication skills and may provide some leadership and guidance to others. There are no specific licences that relate to this qualification. Work may require access to construction sites and require White Card construction induction training and certification covered by the unit CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry. Local regulations should also be checked for requirements.

Could RPL Be Right for You?
Experience can be evidence.
RPL is the process that helps you demonstrate it.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you've gained through your career to determine whether you meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification. It isn't a shortcut — it applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway.
RPL typically involves:
A review of your work experience against the qualification requirements
Compilation of an evidence portfolio demonstrating your competency
Assessment by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation
If gaps are identified, targeted training to build on your existing expertise
ℹ️ Important Pathway Advice
RPL isn't the right pathway for everyone. If you don't have substantial, relevant, and current industry experience, a traditional study pathway may serve you better.
Our approach:
“We'd rather guide you to the right pathway than enrol you in the wrong one.”
