Practical, project-based training that prepares students for apprenticeships across a range of trades, including automotive, construction, electrotechnology, engineering, furniture making, and plumbing.
Our suite of Trades qualifications provide students with hands-on, practical skills and foundational industry knowledge to prepare for apprenticeships and entry-level roles across automotive, construction, engineering and furniture making.
Students learn core trade skills such as using and maintaining tools and equipment, working safely on real and simulated projects, and following workplace procedures specific to each industry. These programs are built around practical, project-based learning and give students a genuine head start into apprenticeship pathways, helping them build the confidence, technical grounding and employability skills valued by Australian trade employers.
Our Trades Learning and Assessment specialist has extensive experience, having both worked in a trade and taught trades qualifications in a school and trade training centre environment. This helps to ensure that course materials are designed with a hands-on and engaging approach, with relevant insights, current practices, and practical skills that reflect the expectations of today's industry.
Depending on the qualification and electives selected, students may engage in:
Students take part in hands-on safety activities, identifying hazards, selecting and using PPE, applying risk controls and following safe work procedures in realistic workshop and construction environments.
Students interpret plans, specifications and technical drawings, and produce simple drawings of their own, to identify dimensions, materials and layouts before setting out work.
