How it Works

Not every young person learns the same way — and not every pathway needs to be through TAFE or university.

CertSmart was built to give students in Years 10–12 — and young adults exploring their next step — a way to gain practical, short, and achievable skills that boost confidence and open doors.

Our courses help students:

✅ Get ready for casual or part-time work
✅ Explore industries before committing to study
✅ Earn micro-credentials they can add to their CV or LinkedIn

✅ Increase their confidence and motivation when applying for jobs

✅ Build employability skills for apprenticeships or traineeships

The CertSmart Pathway of Learning
Each CertSmart course is built around our 3×3 model:

Step 1: Choose Your Path

Browse our range of short courses and micro-credentials designed for real jobs and future pathways.

Whether you want to explore a new industry or build job-ready skills, there’s a course to match your goals.

Think: practical skills you can use.

Step 2: Learn Your Way

Each course follows our 3 × 3 model — 3 days, 3 modules, around 9 hours total.

Flexible and mobile-friendly, so you can learn at your own pace, anytime, anywhere.

Perfect for students in school or job seekers on the go.

Step 3: Complete Certificate

Once you finish the course, you’ll receive a micro-credential that you can download, share, and add to your CV or digital portfolio.

It’s a simple, trusted way to show employers and schools your skills and interests.

Step 4: Take The Next Step

Use your new skills to apply for jobs, apprenticeships, or further study.

CertSmart Pathways helps you build a real foundation for your future — one short course at a time.

No stress. No long-term commitments. Just real skills that help you move forward.

The Future of Pathways

As CertSmart grows, our mission remains clear: To continue building meaningful pathways that connect learning to life — one micro-credential at a time. Because every young person deserves the chance to find their path and build their future.
