- three (3) to eight (8) units from Group G
- one (1) or two (2) units from Group H
- up to five (5) units not listed below from any endorsed Training Package or accredited course. These units:
- must be relevant to the work outcome as outlined in the qualification description above
- must not duplicate the outcome of other units used to achieve this qualification
- must not include any unit coded MSFFP
- must not include more than one (1) unit aligned at a level lower than Australian Qualifications Framework Level 3.

All electives chosen must contribute to a valid, industry-supported vocational outcome.

Electives from Groups A to F can be packaged to provide a qualification with a specialisation.

Certificate III in Cabinet Making and Timber Technology (Furniture): five (5) units from Group A

Certificate III in Cabinet Making and Timber Technology (Kitchens and Bathrooms): five (5) units from Group B

Certificate III in Cabinet Making and Timber Technology (Marine Cabinetry): five (5) units from Group C

Where units are included to meet more than one specialisation, a multiple specialisation can be achieved, with each specialisation bracketed separately, e.g., Certificate III in Cabinet Making and Timber Technology (Marine Cabinetry) (Drafting). Multiple specialisations must meet industry-recognised occupational needs.
