Certificate III in Landscape Construction

Why qualify your team. Unqualified workers expose your business to prosecution, failed audits and lost contracts. This qualification removes that risk and unlocks licensed work and tenders that demand credentialled trades.

What they'll learn. Retaining walls, stonework, paving, hardscaping and softscaping, decking, fencing, sheds and structural landscape works — residential, civil and commercial.

The outcome. A safer, more productive, more loyal workforce — recognised by state construction commissions, government departments, industry bodies, universities and TAFEs.

Common questions.

Often nothing. The Queensland Government funds up to 85% of the course fee, leaving a small co-contribution per qualification. Many employers choose to cover that themselves as a retention tool — but it's optional, and some businesses pay nothing out of pocket once other incentives are applied.
